AGC Biologics acquired its Milan site (formerly MolMed S.p.A.) to add a cell and gene CDMO business to its offerings in July 2020; it has since become the global hub for their cell and gene therapy services. The team at this site has brought multiple products from pre-clinical through commercial phases as well as developed custom plug-and-play systems for vector manufacturing such as AGC's BravoAAV™ and ProntoLVV™ platforms.

The award from Confindustria recognizes AGC Biologics' commitment to research & development as well as their dedication to providing innovative solutions for their clients while also promoting diversity within their workforce.
