BOSTON, Aug. 29, 2024 ~ Lexington, MA - Medicilon USA Corp (Medicilon) has officially opened its second R&D center in Massachusetts, USA in August 2024. The new facility will focus on animal models for PK/PD and toxicology studies, marking a significant milestone in the company's global business expansion.
The decision to establish the Lexington location was made with the aim of enhancing synergy and communication with industry partners. By being in close proximity to numerous top biotech companies and research institutions, Medicilon hopes to contribute even more to pharmaceutical innovation.
The Lexington site will provide critical research services while ensuring smooth communication with both industry-based and academic drug development teams. This commitment to quality and innovation will keep Medicilon's research partners competitive as new therapeutic technologies continue to emerge.
In addition, the U.S. R&D service matrix has been upgraded to empower accelerated development of novel drug modalities. The new laboratory supplements Medicilon's diverse R&D platforms with cutting-edge resources, including advanced instrumentation and animal laboratories. The site also boasts a rich animal model library, with over 410 tumor efficacy models and over 240 non-tumor target research animal models.
