The new 30,000-square-foot complex will house the activities of the Canadian International Centre for Therapeutic Research (ICTR) and the Servier Canada National Centre for Professional Training. Its mission will be to help further the development of drugs for cardiovascular diseases, certain cancers and neuropsychiatry. A total of 38 new employees will join Servier Canada in the coming months.

 

This major $16.3-million investment was made possible by strategic support from Investissement Québec as well as $1 million in non-refundable financial assistance administered by the government corporation.
