CIT expands US presence

Appoints vice-president of business development North America

CIT, a French non-clinical CRO, has opened a US subsidiary, CITox, in Boston, Massachusetts, to spearhead the planned expansion of its US activities.

The company has appointed Bernard Galat as vice-president, business development, North America, who will be based in the Boston office.

The US represents 15% of CIT’s current sales; the aim is to increase this to 30% in three to five years.

Prior to joining CIT, Galat held senior sales and marketing positions with Xceleron, Parexel and Carestat.

‘This is an exciting time to be joining CIT as we expand the availability of our services in monoclonal antibody therapies, tissue cross-reactivity, functional genomics, safety pharmacology and carcinogenicity, including transgenic models,’ he said.
