Medicago announces an extension of its agreement with Genopole biopark
Medicago Inc. announced an extension to its partnering agreement of July 2009 with Genopole®. Medicago and Genopole® will also work towards the creation a laboratory for research on vaccine and antibody targets of interest for France in terms of public health and biodefense. This laboratory is planned to involve French academic research institutes and will be located at the Genopole® biopark in Evry, France. This extension was executed today at the 2010 Symposium Franco-Québécois in the presence of Jean Charest, Premier of Quebec and Christine Lagarde, French Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry.
On July 21, 2009, Medicago and Genopole® signed a partnering agreement to collaborate on the establishment of a commercial-scale facility based on Medicago's Proficia™ plant-based manufacturing technology and VLP vaccine technology on Genopole®'s site in Evry, France. Following Medicago's successful completion of its Phase I clinical trial, Genopole® and Medicago met with French authorities to identify specific interests and needs for research and development of new vaccines and antibodies of high priority and concluded that the proposed implementation of such a laboratory for joint research on vaccine and antibody targets was a step towards the establishment of a commercial-scale facility.
