Lexaria Bioscience is a biotechnology research company focused on improving drug delivery. Its DehydraTECH platform aims to enhance how active pharmaceutical ingredients are absorbed when taken orally, with research extending to topical formats since 2016. The approach has shown increased bioabsorption and, for some drugs, improved passage across the blood-brain barrier, which is considered relevant for centrally active compounds. The firm operates an in-house research facility and maintains a portfolio of intellectual property and many patents pending worldwide. Headquartered in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, the company is described as a small team within the biotechnology research sector. In 2025, Lexaria participated in the BIO International Convention as part of its business development program.
