Lead the evolution of Quality Systems, influence organisational excellence, and shape the future of quality in an innovative biotechnology environment.

At Vaxxas, our goal is to create a healthier world by transforming how the world receives life-saving vaccinations.

We’re developing a next-generation delivery platform, the high-density microarray patch (HD-MAP), that pushes beyond traditional approaches to target immune cells in the skin; creating a faster, more effective, and more accessible vaccination solution.

Simple to use and less reliant on cold-chain for distribution, the HD-MAP is designed to make reaching those who need it most, easier.

Our team brings together scientists, engineers, regulatory and quality professionals who are passionate about improving global health outcomes through their cutting-edge research, creative platform development, and advanced manufacturing approaches.
