Lxbio Pharmaceuticals, SA announces a new phase of the Mobilizing Agenda Bio-Hub – National Platform for the development and production of Innovative Biopharmaceuticals
Lxbio announces a new phase of the Bio-Hub mobilizing agenda through the launch of the consortium website (www.bio-hub.pt) which will allow for quick and accessible dissemination of the project. Bio-Hub emerges as one of the first running agendas with the goal of developing and producing new biopharmaceuticals in Portugal aiming for international markets.
The Bio-Hub consortium led by Lxbio, with co-promoters TechnoPhage, VectorB2B and the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Lisbon, intends to increase the export volume of high value-added products, as well as to promote the hiring of highly qualified human resources, allowing Portugal to compete in the biopharmaceutical market at a global level.
In the first phase of this agenda, the Bio-Hub consortium intends to finance and support the development of innovative biopharmaceuticals, such as TP-102 that will lead the clinical trials of this agenda, being the first to be commercially produced and marketed by Lxbio. This capability will be accomplished in this Agenda with the construction of a new industrial GMP Biopharma unit in Portugal to produce these innovative products. This unit will enable the production of various biopharmaceuticals developed in Portugal and will also be responsible for their distribution and commercialization in international markets.
