  • Almac Sciences has completed a £5m investment in a new two-storey centre for biocatalysis, flow chemistry technologies and peptide research and development.

    The business, which is part of the wider Almac Group, is also currently recruiting for 20 additional staff. 

    The technology centre is located at the Group’s global headquarter campus in Craigavon and consists of 32 fume hoods, an engineering workshop for tooling and has capacity to accommodate up to 100 employees.

    The completion of this new facility comes months after Almac announced its multi-million pound investment to further develop a programme establishing IN Silico Informed metaGenomic Harvesting Technology (INSIGHT).
