DynPort moves to the Clinic

An article in the FNP yesterday shows that DynPort is moving into the Clinical Trials arena and has already been awarded a $32MM contract for phase I clinicals by NIAID. DynPort will be subcontracting most of the work out through Quintiles, as the FredCo branch is essentially a bunch of “project managers” and deal with a lot of documentation issues and project management work. It’ll be interesting to see how this progresses, but being funded for 7 years is a good way to start.

I am also counting on a number of DynPort folks to be out at BioBeers 4, so you can talk it over with them in person.

Which reminds me of some exciting breaking news.

Our gracious BioBeers host, Flying Dog Brewery, made Forbes’ list of the Worlds Best Brewery Tours, as reported on my sister blog, Frederick Maryland On-line.

I have sponsorship for both the Brats (via our friends at FiberCell Systems) and Aerotek Scientific Staffing has offered to cover all of the glasses!! So now you can tour a world class brewery, have a free glass to take home, listen to me rant about Stem Cells and find yourself a new job.

It doesn’t get any better than that! Unless I can recruit a couple more sponsors for the chips, plates and such…
