Axolotl Biologix was founded on February 16, 2016 with its headquarters located in Phoenix, Arizona and an additional research lab and manufacturing facility located at NACET (Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology) in Flagstaff, Arizona.

In March 2017, AxoBio acquired Protein Genomics’ Research Lab and also signed an exclusive worldwide license agreement with Protein Genomics. The license agreement allows AxoBio to use Protein Genomics’ patents and manufacturing knowledge for a biomimetic skin substitute made from biomaterial called Tropoelastin, which is referred to as Elastropin. AxoBio has an exclusive worldwide license to the patents for Tropoelastin, the precursor to elastin and is the only company in the world that can use Tropoelastin in medical applications. Elastin is present throughout the human body and is critical to provide elasticity and tensile strength for organs in our bodies. Some of these organs include the skin, the heart, the bladder, muscles, along with many other structures in the body.
