Contract research organization (CRO) PPD will expand its biologics capabilities in Athlone, Ireland to include cell and gene therapy analytical testing.
The 41,000 square foot Athlone facility will have a further 6,000 square feet of lab space added to it to feed the demand for biologics testing and to mirror expansions being made at PPD’s facility across the pond in Middleton, Wisconsin.
“The Athlone facility enables us to partner closely with a wide variety of both European and global clients to deliver strong scientific and technical expertise across a broad range of highly customized services,” Jon Denissen, senior vice president at PPD Laboratories’ bioanalytical and GMP labs, told this publication.
