They speak about...
« Lyon is a leading region for biotechnology in the health sector. Genzyme naturally found it an ideal location to set up its new bioproduction site dedicated to transplants. Being located nearby other players in the health sector is a real advantage for us, a true source of motivation. This enables us to communicate with and meet each other and helps us come up with new ideas. We set up our facilities in places where our ambition to create value in our business sector can be accomplished while remaining faithful to our mission of innovating for patients who are awaiting treatment. »
