GlycoVaxyn
GlycoVaxyn was a privately-funded company developing a portfolio of novel bio-conjugate vaccines against common severe bacterial infections produced with its unique, proprietary in vivoglycosylation platform. With this platform, the company could develop and produce immunogenic glycoproteins in a biological process that circumvents many of the challenges and uncertainties involved in currently/chemical used methods. The company was founded in 2004 as a spin-out from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ). GlycoVaxyn was acquired by GSK in 2015.
