Burlington, MA – Governor Deval Patrick and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center joined officials from IDBS to open the company’s Healthcare Center of Excellence and to celebrate the expansion of the IDBS business in Massachusetts.
The events stemmed from a meeting between UK-based IDBS, Governor Patrick, the Center and other Massachusetts officials at the BIO International Convention in Washington DC last year, and from the stronger business ties between Massachusetts and the UK built during the Governor’s Massachusetts Innovation Economy Partnership Mission to the UK. In July, 2011 IDBS announced that the Burlington office would become its U.S. Healthcare Headquarters, and unveiled plans to expand the facility to include a new Healthcare Center of Excellence.
IDBS plays a major role in international, as well as local biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and healthcare
research organizations, helping leading companies to secure data, optimize processes, and provide insight into complex information. With software solutions from IDBS, R&D and healthcare organizations can improve decision making, accelerate product lifecycles, and increase innovation.
