The partnership provides academic research and pharmaceutical development laboratories’ expanded access to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-grade, kit-packaged hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) products. By offering premium, clinical grade products to early-stage research investigators, the partnership seeks to bridge the gap between lab-based research, development and commercialization, and accelerate innovation worldwide.
“Innovation is at the heart of HTL’s DNA,” said HTL CEO Yvon Bastard . “This growth opportunity reinforces our mission and vision to apply science for increased bio-compatibility and improved health outcomes around the world.”
“This new partnership offers scientists and researchers the key technologies to develop innovative biopolymer solutions for new medical applications in aesthetics, ophthalmology, rheumatology, tissue engineering and drug delivery,” said Charles Ruban , HTL deputy CEO. “This is the true meaning of HTL’s tagline of ‘Beyond, together.’ HTL’s ambition is not only to grow its lead position in producing and distributing hyaluronic acid worldwide, but also to build tomorrow’s glycosaminoglycan-based solutions.”
“Echelon has been granted the opportunity to expand its market-leading HA assays and extra cellular matrix product line with the supply of HTL ’s hyaluronic acid and other GAG-derived products. HTL is recognized internationally for producing biopolymers of premium quality,” says Bert Israelsen , president of Echelon Biosciences . “Echelon offers our customers access to the latest innovative tools with unparalleled technical support, thereby fully enabling maximized creativity in basic and applied research. With its fermentation and organic synthesis platforms, HTL creates functionality and added value by developing chemically modified biopolymers tailored to specific needs.”
“This new partnership is a milestone in HTL’s expanding footprint in the North American market and with the U.S. medical community,” said Glenn Prestwich, Ph.D ., one of Echelon’s founders and now HTL’s exclusive science and innovation advisor for this market. By entrusting Echelon with the distribution of HTL’s hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycan products for research use, HTL aims to significantly increase its support and involvement in biopolymer research in the U.S. and worldwide, but also its research and development capacity.
“This new initiative demonstrates HTL’s commitment to invest in innovation in healthcare,” said Humberto C. Antunes , strategic advisor to HTL and former CEO of Galderma. “In the fields of health and wellness, the biotechnology ecosystem of innovation, incubators, and established and emerging companies are incredibly dynamic in the United States, Mexico and Canada. It means a huge growth potential for HTL products,” added Antunes.
