The new facility will include office space and two separate laboratories dedicated entirely to medicinal chemistry and equipped to NCE Discovery's very high specifications.
New appointments will bring the team based at the Cambridge headquarters to 18 chemists and two molecular modellers and, although main operations for the company will now operate from here, NCE Discovery still retains links with the Wolfson Institute and a team of chemists will continue to be based in London.
Chris Sharman, ceo of NCE Discovery, explained: 'We offer comprehensive and flexible outsourcing services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and this addition to our laboratories will give us the opportunity to extend these services. We hope the new facilities will be of special interest to the Cambridge biotech cluster because, even in these days of electronic communications, we work in a very interactive way with many of our clients who often like to meet up on a very regular, sometimes weekly, basis.'
