Company Overview

Vaxcyte, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCVX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing vaccines designed to protect against serious bacterial diseases. The company is headquartered in San Carlos, California, and uses its proprietary cell-free protein synthesis and conjugation technologies to develop vaccine candidates intended to provide broad and durable immune protection.

Vaxcyte’s lead programs target pneumococcal disease, an infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Its pipeline includes VAX-24, a 24-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate, and VAX-31, a broader 31-valent candidate. The company is evaluating these programs for potential use in adults and children. Vaxcyte does not currently have an approved commercial product, and its vaccine candidates remain subject to clinical development and regulatory review.

The company was founded in 2013 as SutroVax and adopted the Vaxcyte name in 2020. Its operations and research activities are based primarily in the United States, with clinical development programs conducted across multiple regions as part of international trials. Grant Pickering, Ph.D., serves as Vaxcyte’s chief executive officer.
