ABOUT US We want to challenge and improve today's standardized treatments with the help of our AI-Immunology™ platform. In the field of oncology, we create truly personalized therapies where one size fits one, and only one. Within infectious diseases, we use the technology to design next-generation vaccines to address unmet medical needs.

Our purpose

Modern medicine is advancing rapidly, yet too many people still die of cancer, drug-resistant bacteria, and other infectious diseases. The demand for new, efficient drugs has never been higher and will only grow. Every day, our artificial intelligence (AI) technology is bringing us closer to a future where we will be able to treat a wide range of critical diseases in a targeted, patient-specific way. We see an immense market for new, efficient, and personalized drugs, as well as a substantial way to improve patients' quality of life. This is why our purpose is saving lives with AI-Immunology™ powered vaccines.

How we do it

At Evaxion, our AI-Immunology™ platform is at the heart of our work to revolutionize drug development and ultimately save the lives of patients. We bridge AI technology, bioinformatics, and drug development to bring novel immunotherapies to patients. We have used our AI to generate a broad pipeline of candidate immunotherapies that address two of the most significant unmet medical needs worldwide: cancer and infectious diseases.

Why AI?

The predictive power of our AI models comes from our ability to process and interpret vast amounts of data. These data are transformed into advanced algorithms that we believe can accurately predict cellular interactions and identify the right target to stimulate a relevant, potentially lifesaving, response.
