Microarray patch platform for at-home pharmaceutical delivery without cold chain
Vaxess is a manufacturing-stage biotech company building proprietary microarray patches for home-delivered therapeutics. The stack reveals a precision-manufacturing operation: SAP for supply-chain planning, SolidWorks + 3D printing for prototyping, HPLC + LC-MS for drug characterization, and Rockwell Automation + MES for factory control. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward manufacturing (12 open roles) and operations, with R&D validation studies underway—a hiring pattern consistent with a company moving from proof-of-concept toward clinical readiness and commercial-scale production.
Vaxess develops a dissolvable microarray patch platform capable of delivering a range of therapeutic payloads without requiring refrigeration. The technology is designed to enable at-home administration and distribution to low-resource settings. The company has demonstrated clinical and in-vivo proof of concept across multiple molecule classes and has secured over $100 million in grant and venture funding from sources including RA Capital Management, Engine Ventures, GHIC, Mission BioCapital, BARDA, DARPA, NIH, NSF, and the Gates Foundation. Currently operating from Boston with 11–50 employees, Vaxess is in the midst of manufacturing scale-up, GMP validation, and late-stage clinical readiness work.
Vaxess is scaling manufacturing operations for its microarray patch platform, running in-vivo pharmacokinetic and safety studies in animal models, developing master validation plans, building machine vision inspection systems, and establishing high-throughput commercial-scale GMP manufacturing capacity.
Vaxess operates a manufacturing and R&D stack: SAP (supply chain), SolidWorks (CAD), 3D printing (prototyping), HPLC and LC-MS (drug analysis), Veeva (pharma data), Rockwell Automation (factory control), and Python/C++ for analytics and machine vision.
