Updates to the article
[edit]Hi, I would like to suggest some updates to the article based on the company's activities in recent years. Please add:
- In the History section - In 2019, WuXi AppTec acquired Pharmapace, a clinical services company in San Diego, expanding WuXi AppTec's drug development and biometrics capabilities.[1] In 2021, WuXi STA purchased a Bristol Myers Squibb drug product manufacturing facility in Switzerland, adding to WuXi STA's global services.[2] The same year, WuXi AppTec acquired the UK-based R&D contract company, OXGENE, and created WuXi ATU, a CDMO subsidiary focusing on cell therapy and gene therapy.[3] WuXi ATU opened a testing center in Philadelphia.[4] In 2022, the WuXi STA Changzhou production campus initiated oligonucleotide and peptide manufacturing to expand cell and gene therapy advancements.[5]
Additionally, the different WuXi AppTec entities are inaccurate in the article. See this source to explain the rename and the correct entities under the WuXi AppTec umbrella. As far as I understand, based on the guidelines, this would be an uncontroversial edit for me to do. As it is a bit labor-intensive, I am happy to go in and do it myself with the community's approval.
