Press Release Body: WHITESBORO, N.Y., May 9th - Prevalere Life Sciences, Inc. announced today the opening of a new biotechnology laboratory at their headquarters in Whitesboro, New York. As an enhancement to their current 48,000-square-foot facility housing 7 laboratories the company transformed unfinished space into a 1,800-square-foot state-of-the-art Immunoassay laboratory, where they will conduct pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity testing.
"Over the last 6 years that we have been working in the biotechnology field, we've seen many breakthrough therapies emerging- leading to increased demand from our clients that required an expansion in this area" said Dr. Mario Rocci, Jr., Prevalere Chief Executive Officer. "For over 20 years, Prevalere's operations have made significant contributions to support the approvals of several important new drugs for HIV/AIDS, heart disease, Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis and many other deadly and debilitating diseases. We see this expansion as another opportunity to advance our mission of providing innovative research and development services to meet the evolving needs of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology communities."
Looking to the future, Prevalere considers this expansion to be Phase I of a two phase project. During laboratory construction, foundations and framework were completed for a possible second expansion. By completing this preliminary work, Prevalere is poised to meet future demand increases with a second new laboratory that could be up and running within 60 days notice. Prevalere has relocated their current team of immunoassay scientists to this new wing of the facility, and plans to hire more scientists in this area as the company continues to grow. Twenty employees were added in 2007, and seven more employees have been added this year to date.
