“We are very excited to be moving into the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center,” said Renold Capocasale, founder & CEO of FlowMetric. “The Center offers state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative environment of scientists and business innovators.”

With clients ranging from world-class bio-pharmaceutical companies to niche drug discovery companies, FlowMetric sought a location with high-tech labs and instrumentation, but also a research-based environment that fosters collaboration and communication between entrepreneurs and scientists.
