【技术产业】Sigma-Proligo在法国 Genopole生物园区成
of the Sigma-Aldrich group (Nasdaq: SIAL), is pleased to announce it has
acquired 2,000 sq. meters of office space in the heart of the Genopole(R)
d'Evry biopark in the region of Paris. The official inauguration will take
place on October 19 at 11:30 a.m.
Sigma-Proligo provides researchers throughout the world with
high-quality oligonucleotides due to a high throughput synthesis platform,
enabling it to deliver high-quality products at short deadlines.
With 65 employees in France, the majority of whom are researchers,
Sigma- Proligo has world-class expertise in nucleic acid synthesis and
holds several key patents in siRNA gene silencing technology. Thanks to an
R&D team, which is also based in Evry, this site is expected to become a
center of excellence within the Sigma-Aldrich group. The new facility is
expected to provide the capacity needed for the Company to advance the
production of high-quality oligonucleotides in order to meet emerging needs
within the bioscience research sector.
Sigma-Proligo has extensive knowledge in the fields of DNA synthesis,
siRNA, long amino oligos, quantitative PCR probes and specialized products
such as Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA). Sigma-Proligo develops new protocols and
new methods in the field of oligonucleotides, and is one of four companies
with the MIT license on siRNAs.
"The 'biotech' image of Genopole, as well as the offices and working
environment perfectly adapted to our operations, have been the main reasons
behind our expansion into Evry," said Khalil Arar, operations manager of
Sigma-Aldrich Evry. "The RNAi market has a predicted compound annual growth
rate of 14%, and these new facilities are expected to provide Sigma-Proligo
with the capacity to meet the increasing market demand for RNAi products.
The facilities should also enable the Company to continue to supply
customers with innovative products."
Thierry Mandon, President of Genopole, said, "A mature company moving
onto the campus boosts the attractiveness of Evry-Corbeil as a business
location, and demonstrates its credibility in the biotech sector."
Pierre Tambourin, CEO of Genopole, added "This move will promote
interactivity with our start-ups, which will profit from Sigma Proligo's
knowledge, and our larger companies who need dynamic local links in order
to pursue their development."
Marc Rebois, Director of SEM Genopole, the company that creates and
manages the site's real estate and business accommodation resources, added,
"Welcoming such a well-known company to Evry-Corbeil is a reward for our
ongoing focus on truly biotech-dedicated real estate solutions, and it also
constitutes recognition of our campus on the international level." About Sigma-Aldrich:
