InNexus Biotechnology, Inc. is a drug company based in British Columbia, Canada, with principal management located in the Mayo Clinic MCCRB Building on the Mayo Clinic Campus in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. InNexus is currently developing monoclonal antibodies based on its Dynamic Cross Linking (DXL) technology for both therapeutic and diagnostic applications. InNexus was founded in 2001 and became a publicly traded corporation in 2003 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: IXS).

InNexus is currently developing what is referred to as DXL-modified antibodies, wherein certain autophilic peptides are integrated with a monoclonal antibody. The DXL-modified antibodies have been shown to have enhanced binding affinity and, as a result, greater potency for use as an improved therapeutic to fight cancer and higher signal strength for use as an improved diagnostic for detecting cancer versus the parent or unmodified antibody.

In May 2008, InNexus announced its novel internship program to begin June 2008 called LABApprentice. Interested applicants and internet viewers will have the opportunity to watch activities of the participants in the eight week program which will culminate in one apprentice being chosen as a new InNexus Biotechnology employee.
