“We are very proud to combine the best of Bio Pharma’s existing bioanalytical lab with the best of BLS. Under the scientific leadership of Dr. Hughes, the expanded lab at Bio Pharma will be able to immediately offer challenging and complex new assays while strengthening our Scientific R&D team. This is just one of a list of benefits associated with merging the assets of two great labs at Bio Pharma.” said Renzo DiCarlo, CEO at Bio Pharma Services, Inc.
