Ferring links with academia to advance research in reproductive medicine
Swiss privately-held drugmaker Ferring Pharmaceuticals and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) today announced a long-term collaboration to advance basic and translational research in reproductive medicine through the development of novel product candidates and therapeutic strategies.
As part of the agreement, a new jointly-funded laboratory will be created within the CAS research facility in Beijing, China. Known as the ‘Ferring Institute of Reproductive Medicine’, the facility will bring together researchers from both Ferring and CAS to find solutions to address global challenges in fertility and high rates of obstetric complications.
Ferring already has a signiicant business in reproductive medicine and just last November received approval from its home regulator, SwissMedic, to market Rekovelle (follitropin delta), a human recombinant follicle stimulating hormone. European approval for the product was granted a year earlier.
