Jim Ellard, President and CEO of NEB Inc, was on hand to officially open the new subsidiary and remarked Bioparc Genopole is the perfect location for NEB France. It is a superb research campus where high-level research in genomics and post-genomics has been conducted since 1998. It has attracted biotech companies like New England Biolabs to provide personalized advice and support to research scientists in the Paris area.  We expect to have a mutually beneficial relationship with the researchers here, helping them to advance science. 

France is a very important part of the European life science community and the opening of NEB France brings more direct and efficient access to NEB's high quality reagents and industry-leading technical support and service to French researchers.
