Commenting on the purchase, Quotient BioResearch CEO Paul Cowan said: “We have experienced considerable growth in demand for the drug development services we offer. We will be making major investments at both BioDynamics and Quotient BioResearch to further underpin our commitment to meeting the current and future requirements of our clients.”
