Tengion Inc., a Pennsylvania biotechnology company, said yesterday that it plans to open a satellite office in the West Point Business Park in Winston-Salem early next year, hoping to capitalize on research being performed at Wake Forest University.
Tengion, based in King of Prussia, is a biotech company that develops cell tissues that can be used to create human organs. It is affiliated with Anthony Atala, a Wake Forest urologist who came to Wake Forest from Harvard University in the fall of 2003.
The company already licenses some of Atala's research. Tengion's local 20,000 square-foot office will primarily develop human bladders for organ transplants, company officials said.”
