I'm really proud to announce that Vivan Therapeutics has signed a new 5 year lease for our R&D center at White City Place. I still remember very clearly the day about 6 years ago when I toured the vacant Westworks office. It seemed like the ideal location and space for my team and I to expand our R&D operations. We had then been working out of shipping container labs at OpenCell in Shepherd's Bush market. It seemed like a gigantic leap to commit to a 5 year lease in a building that seemed like a dream to work in -- very modern, new, clean, with green terraces, facilities, yoga at lunchtime, and even a view. I called our Chairman, Bill Liao and he told me to go for it. We have now weathered a lot of "storms" including Covid & the economy. I'm grateful to have a wonderful team and the support of our advisors, investors, friends and community. Together we have planted many seeds-- a large, one of a kind tumor signature- treatment response dataset, validated novel drug combinations, are developing novel multi target therapeutics (with partners The Institute of Cancer Research, Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute - IDIBELL), are pursuing glioblastoma therapeutics with Barts Cancer Institute (Queen Mary University of London), developed the TuMatch software for rapid colorectal cancer treatment guidance, and more. Here's to the next 5 years in our "home"!!! https://lnkd.in/d8SSiTSw "Vivan Therapeutics Doubles Down On White City Place Biotech Hub" #cancer #innovation #WCID #whitecityplace #imperialwesttechcorridor #bowelcancer
