USP laboratory in India welcomes U.S. civic and business leaders
Visitors to the USP-India facility included Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett; Global LifeSci Development Corporation Executive Vice President Jonathan Genn; Montgomery College President Dr. DeRionne P. Pollard; Montgomery College Life Sciences Park Executive Director Martha A. Schoonmaker; Deputy Director of the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development Sally Sternbach; Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy Floreen and President and CEO of the India-US World Affairs Institute Dr. Vinod Jain.
The visit to USP-India is part of an effort by Montgomery County leaders and businesses to expand contacts with biotech and other high-tech organizations in India.
“We are happy to welcome this delegation from Montgomery County, where USP is headquartered, and we appreciate their interest in fostering economic development at home and in India,” said USP Chief Executive Officer Ronald T. Piervincenzi, Ph.D. “The County's efforts have helped USP further its mission to advance public health by promoting access to quality medicines and foods, which increasingly include ingredients from India and other global sources.”
USP-India is located in the IKP Knowledge Park in Hyderabad, a center for pharmaceutical and bio-tech manufacturing and research in India. In addition to showcasing USP’s laboratories and testing facilities, USP-India hosted meetings to introduce the Montgomery County delegation to leaders from other businesses located in the IKP Park.
Opened in 2005, the Hyderabad site is USP’s first office and laboratory facility located outside of the United States. In 2011, USP completed a large-scale expansion project to increase capacity for analytical chemistry and collaborative testing.
In addition to India, USP operates laboratories in São Paulo, Brazil; Shanghai, China; and at USP’s headquarters in Rockville, Md. (USA).
