“
We took a lab bench when the centre first opened and have already expanded our team from 4 to 22, with a team of 15 scientists based at The EpiCentre. The facilities and ongoing business support have already been invaluable in our growth plans and will continue to be instrumental with our long-term vision to expand to 100 scientists.”
