In December 2023, Novogene officially announced the establishment of its new laboratory in the Innovation and Start-up Center for Biotechnology (IZB) in Munich, Germany, reinforcing its global localization strategy and further enhancing its service capabilities in the European region.
Situated in Martinsried, the Innovation and Start-up Center for Biotechnology (IZB) stands as a forefront biotechnology hub in Europe, housing more than 40 biotech start-ups. Novogene anticipates the full operational launch of its IZB lab in early 2024, and the deployment of this new laboratory is also a crucial component of Novogene’s global localization strategy.
At present, Novogene has strategically positioned laboratories across the globe, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and beyond. This global presence brings highly optimized processes, combined with expert local staff, to deliver an industry-leading service to the scientific community worldwide.
Tingting Zhou, Vice President of Novogene Europe, said: “We are very excited to join the IZB eco-system. This new lab will not only expand our capacity but also enable us to collaborate more closely with researchers and innovators in biotechnology across Europe.”
Dr. Peter Hanns Zobel, Managing Director of IZB, added: "We are delighted Novogene has chosen our dynamic biotech center for their new genomics facility. The inclusion of Novogene on our campus represents an important new collaboration. Their expertise in genomic services will greatly complement the diverse and cutting-edge scientific activities at IZB and enhance the research and innovation potential of our network of biotech companies and academic institutions."
