MIMIX™ smart-release therapies mimic infections, but without all the side effects. They are administered over time in the skin (an immunologic organ) to stimulate a more powerful and durable immune response to fight diseases ranging from influenza to cancer.
Vaxess is applying the principles of MIMIX™ to fight skin cancer today, with the potential to address breast, lung, colorectal, and kidney cancers tomorrow.
Quick, simple, and painless, Vaxess is redefining accessible health care with exceptionally effective MIMIX™ vaccines. We are making a more efficacious flu vaccine and partnering to develop a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine that enables global distribution.

The MIMIX™ patch delivers medicines and vaccines through silk tips that dissolve at a precise rate in the skin, releasing their treatment at its most effective dose for the most effective length of time.
HOW IT WORKS: Apply to skin, wait a few minutes for tips to embed, remove patch, and dispose of applicator and patch. No sharps to worry about.
The MIMIX™ patch therapeutic tips rapidly separate from the patch, embedding in the skin so they can release treatment for the most effective length of time.
MIMIX™ relies on strong, stable, and biocompatible, silk fibroin—an essential structural protein in silk—to protect unstable target molecules during sustained release at body temperature. At Vaxess, we can tune the characteristics of silk fibroin to provide the most effective qualities for medicine and vaccine delivery.
