Madison, WI, August 19th, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BioVaxys Technology Corp. (CSE: BIOV) (FRA: 5LB) (OTCQB: BVAXF) ("BioVaxys") and SpayVac for Wildlife, Inc. (“SpayVac”) jointly announce that SpayVac® recently completed set-up of its new research and production facility in Madison, Wisconsin to produce their long-lasting, single-dose veterinary contraceptive vaccines.
SpayVac® uses a patented liposome-based antigen delivery platform technology, licensed from BioVaxys (https://www.biovaxys.com/), which has demonstrated a robust and sustained immune response in several species. SpayVac single-dose vaccines will address the fertility-control needs in wildlife, agricultural production animals, and aquaculture markets.
SpayVac for Wildlife, Inc. initially operated out of the University of Victoria, British Columbia, and relocated to Madison, Wisconsin, after the pandemic. With support from the BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation and angel investors, SpayVac was able to expand its laboratory and lease space in a building owned by Lytic Solutions, which will allow the company to produce vaccines for ongoing and future experimental contraceptive trials.
“This new laboratory will significantly enhance our ability to develop new vaccine formulations for species that would benefit from humane, long-term fertility control”, said Dr. Ursula Bechert, Vice-President of Research and Development for SpayVac for Wildlife. Tom D’Orazio, CEO of SpayVac for Wildlife shared, “I’m enthusiastic about the many benefits of this space. It is flexible enough for us to do both our research and small-scale production. The Lytic facility has a number other biopharma tenant companies, such as Kendrick Laboratories and Plumb Pharmaceuticals, creating a biotech hub and collaborative environment.”
SpayVac is planning to soon commercialize fertility control vaccines for deer, horses and other animals that are also based on the patented liposome-based delivery-platform technology licensed from BioVaxys.
Kenneth Kovan, BioVaxys President & Chief Operating Officer, stated “With our licensee SpayVac on track for submitting their filing for regulatory approval in 2025, they expect to see commercial sales, which will generate royalty revenue from our liposome-based antigen delivery platform technology.”
