Revolutionizing Vaccine Delivery with Ceramic Microneedles

At MyLife Technologies, we specialize in pioneering porous ceramic microneedles for painless and efficient vaccine delivery through the skin. Our vision is clear: to simplify and enhance healthcare accessibility. With our innovative technology, we're making vaccine administration easier and more effective.

ABOUT MYLIFE TECHNOLOGIES

Our mission is to make vaccines more accessible and efficient through innovative ceramic microneedle technology.



MyLife Technologies, a Dutch startup based in Leiden, pioneers CeraMAPs™—nanoporous ceramic microneedle patches for intradermal vaccine delivery. Our CeraMAPs™ revolutionize vaccine delivery with:


  • Nano-Porous Innovation:  Featuring an inter-connected nano-porous system, they enable high volume loading and dry vaccine creation, eliminating cold-chain complexities. 


  • Enhanced Efficiency: They can reduce antigen dosing by 5 to 20 times compared to injections, crucial for rapid responses to outbreaks.


  • Painless & Precise: CeraMAPs™ gently penetrate the upper skin layers, reducing needle anxiety, and ensuring precise, blood-free delivery in the epidermis and upper dermis.


These advantages lower vaccine delivery costs, expedite distribution, and benefit healthcare workers. MyLife Technologies is dedicated to making CeraMAPs™ accessible to all, representing a groundbreaking advancement in vaccine delivery.
