EMPLICURE SIGNS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH UPPSALA UNIVERSITY REGARDING BIOLOGICAL MEDICINES. As part of broadening Emplicure's project and product development, an agreement has been signed with the Department of Materials Science at Uppsala University, Sweden. The agreement includes advanced materials science characterization of drug formulations developed by Emplicure, as well as collaboration to develop new
formulations of biological drugs (biologics). Medicines have traditionally been manufactured by chemical means, but in recent decades more and more medicines have been manufactured through biological processes. Thanks to this development, there are now new effective treatments for several serious and chronic diseases, such as rheumatism and cancer.
