Chemical storage hub is boost to life sciences sector

THE Scottish life sciences sector is hoping for a boost after it was confirmed a major chemical storage and logistics hub will be based in North Lanarkshire.

Hundreds of thousands of chemical compounds will be held at a state-of-the-art facility at the BioCity campus as part of a European-wide initiative to speed up the creation of new medicines.

The Scottish Screening Centre, based at the former Organon site in Newhouse, and a similar facility in the Netherlands will play a major part in the European Lead Factory.
