The NSF-funded small business Vaxess Technologies uses silk to enhance stability of vaccines, biotherapeutics and diagnostics so they can be stored and shipped without refrigeration, reducing the need for the cold chain. Vaxess is one of nearly 40 NSF grantees participating in the 2015 BIO Innovation Zone, an exhibit space dedicated to businesses with cutting-edge biomedical technologies supported by NSF's Directorate for Engineering.
