Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine Companies

Novavax is focused on creating novel, highly potent recombinant vaccines produced via cell culture. The company has developed three proprietary technology platforms: Virus-Like Particles, Novasome� paucilamellar vesicles and Micellar Nanoparticles.

Combining recent advances in nanofabrication, biochemistry, molecular biology, surface chemistry and optics, the company has created a powerful technology platform called single molecule, real-time, or SMRT, technology. SMRT technology enables real-time analysis of biomolecules with single molecule resolution, which has the potential to transform our understanding of biological systems by providing a window into these systems that has not previously been open for scientific study.

Parabon NanoLabs designs and develops a new class of therapeutics and other products made possible by proprietary technology for precisely directing the self-assembly of designer macromolecules that are functionalized with molecular subcomponents (e.g., enzymes, metals or pharmaceuticals).

Particle Sciences is an integrated provider of both standard and nanotechnology approaches to drug development and delivery. The company originally pioneered use of encapsulated ingredients and nanoparticles for sunscreens and personal care. In 1999 the company licensed a portion of its nanotechnology portfolio to BASF and focused its efforts on providing services to Life Sciences companies. Now, through a full range of formulation, analytic, and manufacturing services, Particle Sciences provides pharmaceutical companies with a complete and seamless development solution designed to minimize the time and risk between discovery and the clinic.

PDS Biotechnology Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company applying the company's platform Versamune nanotechnology to a new class of safe, simple, potent and targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases.

The company developed the Artiste™ Nano Composite System for dental restoration.

Develops a Protected Graft Copolymer (PGC™) nano-carrier drug delivery system.

A genomics company that has developed the world's first light-powered microtransponders and nanotransponders for performing nucleic acid-based assays.

Develops and sells patented high performance, injection-molded nanospray devices for mass spectrometry applications in drug discovery, clinical diagnostics and homeland security.

The company develops, produces and markets nanotechnologies for the life sciences. They produce a variety of nano-structured surfaces for use in research and are also developing a range of products that derive from a proprietary platform technology using liquid crystals for the rapid detection of molecular interactions.
