Site Selection has published a second article on Québec’s life-sciences industry.

The August issue of U.S. magazine Site Selection features an article entitled The Phoenix of Québec: NEOMED brings instant pain relief to life sciences R&D in Greater Montréal Open a new window, which brings to light the key role played by the NEOMED Institute in Québec’s life-sciences industry. The article also paints a complimentary picture of the research and cooperation potential for foreign companies interested in partnering with the Institute.

 

Adam Bruns, the magazine’s Managing Editor, conducted a series of interviews with such industry figures as Max Fehlmann, NEOMED’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Philippe Walker, the Institute’s Chief Scientific Officer and former Head of AstraZeneca’s R&D centre in Montréal, as well as Dr. Helmut Thomas, President and CEO of Cyclenium Pharma, and Anthony Cheung, President and CEO of enGene.
