AMICULUM opens new Scottish base
Independent global healthcare communications and consulting group AMICULUM has opened a new office, a move that marks its 6th UK base.
The office – which is located on the grounds of Dundee University in Scotland – will provide collaborative opportunities with the city’s biomedical science community.
The new base is said to enhance the firm’s ability to support pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostics and medical device clients located in Scotland.
Dr Richard Allcorn, co-founder of AMICULUM, commented, “Our team is particularly excited to be establishing a presence alongside Dundee University, which is highly regarded as a global centre of biomedical research and teaching.”
The opening of the Dundee office comes months after the group unveiling its Brighton office back in January.
