Orion Pharma's Turku research centre extension inaugurated
Orion continues its strong investment in pharmaceutical research in Finland
The extension of Orion Pharma's Turku Pharmaceutical Research Centre was recently inaugurated in the presence of Ms. Maija Perho, Minister for Social Affairs and Health of Finland. The enlargement will provide Orion Pharma's research functions with some 7,000 m2 of new premises. Built to the existing R&D facilities of Orion Pharma's Turku Research Centre, the extension adds over 6,600 m2 to the research premises. The cost of the construction project totalled 10.5 million euros. The pharmacological research laboratories, clinical development and associated support functions which focus on the early-stage research on central nervous system and hormonal therapies enjoy the modern and luminous premises in the extension. The constantly expanding pharmaceutical and analytic product development now have new premises for the development and manufacturing of investigational products in line with international quality standards. The regulatory drug authorities monitor both the production and the R&D premises on a regular basis.
