LOWER GWYNEDD, PA—A growing San Jose, CA-based biotech firm has announced plans to establish its second clinical laboratory site and new U.S. corporate headquarters here at MRA Group's Spring House Innovation Park.
Anpac Bio, which signed a 6,724-square-foot lease at the Montgomery County complex, will be joining a list of life science tenants at the campus, including Jefferson Institute Bioprocessing, among others. Anpac is expected to move into its new headquarters in March of 2020.
Anpac Bio is a biotechnology company focused on early cancer screening and detection. With multiple certified clinical laboratories in China, Anpac Bio markets a suite of cancer screening and detection tests, including CDA, bio-chemistry, immunology and genomics tests.
"We are very excited to be moving forward with our U.S. corporate headquarters and laboratory in Pennsylvania. The state has a mature life sciences ecosystem and a supportive start-up environment that will allow our U.S. business to lay the foundation for future success," says Shaun Gong, Anpac's U.S. President.
Anpac Bio CEO Dr. Chris Yu adds that the firm's second clinical laboratory in Philadelphia will allow the firm to work with its hospital principal investigators and partners on the East Coast much more closely and effectively.
CBRE SVP Tony Rossi who leads the Life Sciences Group in the greater Philadelphia region, represented Anpac Bio during the lease negotiations.
