A new global contract development and manufacturing organization, ten23 health, announced its launch on Sept. 1, 2021. Financed through the 3i group, the company aims to support biotech start-ups and established pharmaceutical customers in developing safe injectable biopharmaceutical drugs.

The company will be headquartered out of a 4000 m² shared lab and office building in Basel, Switzerland, which will provide space for approximately 150 full-time employees.

“There is a significant unmet need in the life sciences market,” said CEO Hanns–Christian Mahler in a company press release. “The number and complexity of molecules and novel therapeutic modalities are increasing. Medical research is facing growing challenges with respect to the stability, usability, and consistent manufacturing of medicines.”
