OxVax Ltd is an Oxford-based immuno-oncology spin-off developing an off-the-shelf cancer vaccine platform built on a proprietary subset of dendritic cells.

This emerging biotech venture has its roots in the University of Oxford’s Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, where its founding scientists discovered how to generate CD141⁺ dendritic cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) – a breakthrough enabling bulk manufacture of potent antigen-presenting cells for immunotherapy.
