Next Generation Anti-Infectives: A drug platform confirmed by independent labs to destroy SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses.
About us
Next Generation Anti-Infectives that Mimic Natural Human Antimicrobial Peptides Maxwell Biosciences is a preclinical stage drug platform company partnering with large pharma companies to develop an entirely new class of patented low molecular weight drug candidates that destroy SARS-CoV-2, the COVID virus, as well as other viruses and infectious pathogens (including fungal and bacterial pathogens). Maxwell's first-in-class CLAROMER™ brand drug discovery platform mimics natural human immune system antimicrobial and antiviral peptides. Maxwell Biosciences has benefitted from over $35M of non-dilutive grants and awards from governments around the world to validate their science and technology, including studies by US Govt-funded labs confirming that Maxwell's lead drug candidate has direct virucidal action against Herpes virus (HSV-1) and SARS-CoV-2, the COVID virus. Additionally, live mouse safety data at Texas A&M show Maxwell's drugs benefit from a tissue-safe toxicology profiles, and live mouse studies from the Baylor College of Medicine show breakthrough fungicidal action with CLAROMER™ brand compounds against lethal fungal infections of the upper-respiratory tract. These findings support the expected safety and effectiveness of Maxwell's “multi-asset, multi-target” anti-infectives drug platform. Maxwell's drug platform is supported by a granted patent portfolio and is strongly positioned in the fight against emergent viral pandemics and a broad spectrum of evolving infectious pathogens. Maxwell is raising funds for advanced preclinical and human trials.

📢 Maxwell Biosciences Secures US Army Agreement to Research Core Scientific Aspects of Claromer™ Technology Maxwell Biosciences is proud to announce a new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR). Together, we’re learning more about the core scientific aspects of our Claromer™ technology—synthetic molecules inspired by the immune system. This collaboration—our sixth with U.S. military branches—fuels our mission to create next-generation therapeutics. Insights gained here will shape the future of our “One Drug for Many Bugs” approach. “The Claromer™ family of compounds represents a novel breakthrough, “ said Joshua McClure, CEO of Maxwell Biosciences. “We’re delighted that the U.S. Army is as equally motivated as we are to research fundamental scientific aspects of these compounds. There’s so much we can learn by working hand-in-hand with military scientists.” Read more here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/edAA3wHU

📢 Maxwell Biosciences Partners with U.S. Military to Fight Dengue Dengue cases are surging—12M infections hit the Americas in 2024 alone. Maxwell Biosciences is taking action. We’re proud to announce a new collaboration with the Naval Medical Research Command to develop antiviral therapeutics for dengue virus, the world’s fastest-growing mosquito-borne disease. Through this partnership, the Naval Medical Infectious Diseases Diagnostic Laboratory will test our Claromer™ compounds against all four strains of dengue fever. Dengue cases have doubled every year since 2021. With no effective antiviral treatment, the need for innovative, shelf-stable solutions has never been greater. "At Maxwell, we’re honored to partner with the U.S. military to tackle the most difficult diseases that are beyond the capabilities of other pharmaceutical companies. Maxwell is a true pioneer in this space, leading the world in our efforts for developing new, shelf-stable therapeutics against the world’s most neglected, dangerous and deadly pathogens." – Joshua McClure, CEO This partnership marks another step in Maxwell’s mission to create health for the world, safely and affordably. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dxm85QKR
