Vaxcyte, Inc.

We are a clinical-stage vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect humankind from the consequences of bacterial diseases. We are re-engineering the way highly complex vaccines are made through the XpressCF cell-free protein synthesis platform. Unlike conventional cell-based approaches, our system for producing difficult-to-make proteins and antigens is intended to develop and deliver high-fidelity vaccines with enhanced immunological benefits that are beyond the capabilities of conventional approaches. Vaccines are one of the most successful and cost-effective global health interventions and prevent millions of deaths worldwide each year. Routine pediatric vaccinations in the United States are estimated to prevent approximately 17 million cases of disease over the lifetimes of each annual birth cohort, and it is estimated that every $1 spent on childhood vaccination results in savings of approximately $11. Adult vaccination has increased with the introduction of new vaccines along with expanded age recommendations and growing international adoption, which is contributing to the growth of the overall vaccine market. Given the critical role vaccines play in preventing disease from childhood through adulthood, the global vaccine market is large, durable and growing.
