MÖNCHENGLADBACH, NORTH RHINE-WESTPHALIA, GERMANY, May 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For more than 7 years, MLM Medical Labs (MLM), a global leader in central and specialty laboratory services, has supported biopharmaceutical research in the field of cell and gene therapy within its U.S. based laboratories. Today, MLM announced the successful completion of a rigorous application process to receive the S2 laboratory designation at its facility in Mönchengladbach, Germany. This designation expands MLM’s capabilities to support this rapidly developing field throughout Europe.

According to Dr. Stephan Voswinkel, Managing Director of MLM - Germany, “This important milestone provides assurance to the biopharma and biotech industry that our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with the latest technologies and infrastructure to facilitate safe and efficient handling of GMOs.”

In addition to meeting rigorous facility requirements, MLM had to demonstrate strict adherence to the stringent standards set forth by the European Genetic Guidelines, ensuring the highest level of safety and regulatory compliance.
