The Gap

High-consequence pathogens still have no countermeasures.

Emerging and weaponizable pathogens outpace conventional vaccine development. Kinexar Bio's platform is purpose-built for the threats where speed, stability, and breadth of immune coverage matter most — and where no approved vaccine exists today.

Platform

Built on pAMP and DNA-FACE

A concatemeric peptide architecture that assembles many immune targets into a single, manufacturable construct.

01

pAMP Platform

Proprietary multi-epitope concatemeric peptide technology delivering broad immune coverage against complex pathogens.

02

DNA-FACE Technology

Enables precise assembly of repeating bioactive peptide units, producing thermostable, non-replicating vaccine constructs.

03

Thermostable

Cold-chain independent formulation suitable for field deployment in resource-limited settings.

04

Scalable Manufacturing

Compatible with standard recombinant protein production — no live virus, no complex biologics infrastructure required.

05

Proven Versatility

Platform has demonstrated biological activity across multiple indications including infectious disease and wound healing applications.

06

Non-Replicating

No live or attenuated virus in the construct, supporting a favorable safety profile and streamlined biosafety handling.
