ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, October 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Viroclinics Biosciences B.V. has relocated to the Rotterdam Science Tower, a new high-tech science facility that's about to become a hotspot for international life sciences, medical innovations and spin-offs from Erasmus MC and Erasmus University Rotterdam. This location will form the core of a powerful cluster of biomedical businesses, bringing a vast range of medical knowledge and business activity together within a small area.
Viroclinics Biosciences B.V. occupies 3000m2 of office and lab space within the building, including fully operational BSL2 and BSL3 virology laboratories for performing state-of-the-art clinical and preclinical services.
The Rotterdam Science Tower opens on 4th October.
Enhanced collaboration improves knowledge and speed
This relocation brings Viroclinics Biosciences into close proximity to its research and development partner, Erasmus MC. The move will further enhance the intense collaboration between the two, increasing the opportunities for customers to benefit from the combined scientific knowledge and skills maintained in both laboratories.
According to Hans Bunschoten, COO of Viroclinics Biosciences B.V., "The new facilities will allow us to further streamline our logistic processes, increasing the quality and improving the turnaround time of our services. In this setting we can offer the full range of virology services for new drug development programs and post-marketing surveillance of existing drugs and vaccines, ranging from traditional virology assays to the latest deep sequencing protocols for a very broad range of viruses".
