France's LEEM recruits associated industry members

27 April 2008

France's drug industry association (LEEM) aims to represent a wider group of members than research-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, according to its president, Christian Lajoux. Speaking on the occasion of the signing up of Genethon, the trade body's eighth associate member, Mr Lajoux said that "the LEEM is a recognized welcoming structure for bringing together the new players in biotechnology."

Genethon is a non-profit organization which has received 22.0 million euros ($34.9 million) annual funding from the AFM, a neuromuscular disease charity, thanks to donations from France's Telethon. It employs 200 people in biotechnology drug research.
