About AAX Biotech
AAX Biotech AB is a private research-driven biotech company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with proprietary technologies that solve unmet needs in the development of next-generation antibody therapeutics.

We offer a unique solution to a recognized problem in a rapidly growing market. AAX's two unique and patentable technologies improve the performance and developability of antibody-based therapeutics.

With the Seqitope™ technology, drug developers can accelerate drug development by resolving in detail epitope-binding properties at an early stage. Our second technology – Opti-mAb™ – is a molecular stabilization strategy for scFv antibodies, providing significantly more stable, non-aggregating and therefore cost-effective drug development and improved pharmacological properties.

We are working with multiple pharma and biotech companies (BioArctic, Oblique Therapeutics, etc.) in the context of AAX Biotech’s unique technologies and are members of two incubators, Karolinska Institutet Innovations DRIVE incubator and the SmiLe Incubator. In 2024 we were the winner of the AbbVie Scandinavia Golden Ticket.
