Vaxxas is a start up company developing Micro Array Patches (MAP's). Vaxxas has contracts with large pharma, governments and not for profit organisations to conduct vaccine specific clinical studies with a view to high volume manufacture. MAP's are a high density micro projection array for the delivery of vaccines that we intend to be the future of vaccinations. The technology has shown improved responses with dose sparing delivery and no reliance on cold chain storage. As the Head of Medical Device and Process Engineering I am responsible for the design of the product for clinical and commercial use as well as the scale up manufacture. The product is comprised of the projection array, packaging solutions and the applicator device for patch application. The production of this product uses many unique manufacturing processes and solutions and presents an opportunity to drive next generation medical device technology and prevent the loss of many lives worldwide.
