Singapore Life-Sciences Company Opens Research and Production Facility
In addition, one of Singapore's first home-grown life-science companies is opening a multi-million-dollar research and production facility here. It also has ambitious plans to go regional with a cream for osteoarthritis and joint-injury sufferers. Lynk Biotechnologies' facility costs several million dollars and includes top-of-the-line proteomics equipment to sieve through various molecules - which are potential drugs - that switch on, or off, the functions of cells in the body. There are also animal-testing facilities and a semi-automated plant to produce the joint cream. Lynk's subsidiary, MediLynk, uses so-called transdermal technology to deliver drugs through the skin.
