Developing Better Vaccines and Antibody Therapies
Improving the process of identifying the targets of antibodies to develop better treatments.
About Us
What Is Maxitope
Maxitope is a technology developed by our team of researchers at the University of Edinburgh.
The aim of our technology is to improve the success of therapeutic antibodies and vaccines to make better treatments available:
The Problem
Identifying the precise target for antibodies or the ideal vaccine is a challenging problem due to the ensemble of complex three-dimensional shapes that proteins adopt. Many potential therapeutic antibodies and vaccines fail because they do not bind their targets optimally.
Our Mission
By leveraging cutting edge protein thermodynamic modelling we improve the process of identifying the targets of antibodies and designing and developing better antibody treatments, reagents and vaccines.
Our Technology
Making Better Treatments
Cost-Effective
Our technology reduces development costs.
Time-Efficient
Our technology speeds development and speeds the process of securing IP.
Better Quality
Our technology allows for better molecules in development pipelines.
Flexible
Our technology is flexible and can be incorporated into existing discovery pipelines.
Diverse Applications
Our technology can be used by companies working in diverse areas (cancer, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, etc.)
Rationale Design
Our technology allows for rationale design of better vaccines for human and animal health problems.
