VaxInnate is a privately-held biotechnology company developing novel, proprietary vaccines for both pandemic and seasonal influenza.
The company's breakthrough vaccines are based on its Toll-like receptor (TLR) technology platform, which dramatically improves vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy.
VaxInnate was founded by Ruslan Medzhitov and Richard Flavell, both of Yale University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute and leaders in the field of innate immunity.
The company started in 2002 with a research team in New Haven, CT. In 2004, the company expanded and established a development team and corporate headquarters in Cranbury, NJ.
