Labskin take up additional space with joint development partners at University of Bradford
Integumen, the AIM-quoted company, announces the further expansion of its subsidiary, Labskin, which has agreed to occupy secure workspace in the Digital Health Enterprise Zone (SHEZ) at the University of Bradford, UK in early April 2019. This is an extension to our already enlarged laboratories in York, UK.
This workspace affords the Labskin team close proximity to our collaboration partners at the Centre for Skin Sciences (CSS) who are based in the DHEZ and. Labskin and CSS are engaging in preliminary research, before embarking on a larger joint development project, with the support of local and national technology funding partners.
Gerard Brandon - CEO of Integumen plc, comments:
The Integumen ethos behind our plans for growth in the 21st Century draws upon a 395-year-old phrase. "No man is an island" (John Donne). Our development partners continue to grow, and we look forward to reaping the benefit of this collaboration, which represents our first external development facility within the University of Bradford and the Centre of Skin Science."
