Prof Rui Ban, Department Head of Bioengineering, School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University, said:
"We are the oldest University in China and have a great deal of reputation and history in advanced technologies. The labs identified by IBC for partnership are also the governmental funded labs designed specifically for advanced biotechnologies and production of useful commercial compounds. We are very pleased to share the same mission with IBC and strongly feel the synergy between IBC and us. We are confident this partnership will strengthen the leading positions of both parties."
Andy Badolato, CEO of IBC, added, "This relationship enables us to develop, scale up and commercialize compounds at very low costs. Tianjin possess the expertise, know how, and geographic location in close proximity to our large scale manufacturers. This lab will serve as the hub of our ALCHEMx production platform technologies as we develop an efficient cost effective bio assembly line and centralize compound development and scale up efforts creating scientific, economic, and critical mass synergies. We have a distinct time to market advantage with our intellectual property to introduce biologically derived chemicals at lower costs with less impact on the environment. We have shown proof of concept with several compounds and will be distributing them into the marketplace next fiscal year. We are now poised to commence rapid compound development in association with the chemical industry partnerships we have formed."
