The MaxWell Way
Engineering excellence meets scientific partnership.
Unraveling how neuronal networks function is one of science’s most profound challenges. Each discovery brings us closer to therapies that improve lives. Our purpose is to capture maximum insight from every cell and to transform this knowledge into progress that serves human well-being. The following values and commitments describe how we work, how we make decisions and how we build relationships. They guide us as a team and define what others can expect from us.
One Team, One Mission - We succeed together.
MaxWell is an international and interdisciplinary team, united by a shared goal: enabling breakthrough science. We build a culture based on trust, respect and openness, where every contribution matters and collaboration leads to better outcomes. We support one another, celebrate shared achievements and take collective responsibility for the challenges ahead.
Beyond Innovation - We go further than expected.
Innovation is central to our work, not as an aim in itself but to provide scientists with tools that allow them to see, measure, and understand more. We combine curiosity with technical and scientific expertise in engineering and biology, and we are not afraid to explore new ideas. Our aim is always to deliver solutions that extend what is possible and help our users gain deeper and more meaningful insights from their research.
Integrity, Always - Trust is our foundation.
We hold ourselves to the highest scientific and engineering standards, ensuring that our technologies deliver reliable, reproducible and publication-quality data. We value honesty, clarity and transparency in everything we do, even when the answers are difficult or complex. Integrity is how we earn trust from colleagues, partners and the scientific community.
Customer Impact First - Our users are partners in discovery.
We listen carefully, work closely with our users, and design solutions that make their research faster, clearer and more impactful. We aim to remove complexity, reduce time to results and help them focus on the science that matters. Our support is grounded in PhD-level expertise and close collaboration, acting as an extension of their team. Their discoveries are our shared success.
Drive With Purpose - We take ownership of our work and its impact.
At MaxWell, we do not wait for change; we make it happen. Everyone is encouraged to take initiative, share ideas and question how things are done, because real progress comes from action. We hold ourselves accountable for results and stay focused on what truly matters. We combine ambition with responsibility and approach challenges with determination and care. We aim high, keep going when things are difficult and always look for ways to improve, because our work helps shape the future of science and society.
That is The MaxWell Way.
Our name is a reminder of our purpose: to maximize insight, accelerate discovery and contribute to the well-being of people worldwide. Guided by these values, we work each day to help science realize its potential, capturing the stories of all cells. These principles shape how we collaborate with scientists and innovators around the world and how we aim to advance the future of neuroscience and drug discovery.
