(KDW KDW Kaufhaus Des Westens (department store in Berlin, Germany) KDW Keep Digging, Watson ) a provider of integrated commercial developments, specializing in Build-to-Suit facilities. The design for the building and research laboratory facilities was completed by Arcon Architects of League City, Texas. "This facility will provide the Company the space needed to expand both our research and development and our DNA production. The additional capacity will enable more rapid progress in moving our own products to clinical trials as well as increasing our output of DNA products to our customers," stated Malcolm Skolnick, CytoGenix CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . Dr. Yin Chen, Chief Scientific Officer, comments, "This new facility will enable us to recruit additional highly qualified scientists and professionals needed in both our drug development and DNA production activities. The Company will move to expedite the certification process to achieve Good Manufacturing Practice Good Manufacturing Practice or GMP (also referred to as 'cGMP' or 'current Good Manufacturing Practice') is a term that is recognized worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods and pharmaceutical products. (GMP GMP (guanosine monophosphate): see guanine. ) status necessary to manufacture clinical grade DNA." Dr. Frederic Kendirgi, Senior Scientist overseeing the Company's DNA production platforms, notes, "The building of a custom designed Research and Production facility demonstrates our commitment to design and produce high quality DNA material under controlled environment with state of the art equipment and infrastructure. This expansion will secure CytoGenix' place in the current highly competitive DNA production market." CytoGenix, Inc. is a Houston-based biopharmaceutical company that develops and markets innovative products and services based on its proprietary synDNA(TM) production and single stranded DNA (ssDNA) expression technology. The company has developed a breakthrough synthetic process for large-scale production of biologically active DNA that can be made faster and cleaner than production using traditional fermentation methods and has developed a novel expression vector expression vector n. A vector, such as a plasmid, yeast, or animal virus genome, used to introduce foreign genetic material into a host cell in order to replicate and amplify the foreign DNA sequences as a recombinant molecule. that enables production of ssDNA sequences inside target cell. CytoGenix currently holds 13 granted patents and about 57 international or US pending patent applications claiming methods and materials in connection with these platform technologies.
