VaxDesign Receives 2007 William C. Schwartz Industry Innovation Award
September 19, 2007 (ORLANDO, Florida) - The Orlando Economic Development Council has selected VaxDesign as a recipient of its 2007 William C. Schwartz Industry Innovation Award, honoring innovation by companies in central Florida. VaxDesign won for its MIMIC™ technology. The Modular IMmune In vitro Construct (MIMIC™) is a model of the human immune system, about the size of a coin, to reliably and predictably test drugs, vaccines and chemical formulations; a “clinical trial in a test tube.” The MIMIC technology serves not only as an alternative to animal testing, but one that is more predictive of human responses.
William C. Schwartz Industry Innovation Awards are presented to companies from Orange, Seminole, Lake and Osceola counties and the City of Orlando. Winning companies are chosen based on their innovation in areas including business processes, technology development, strategic partnerships and products or services.
