Citryll moves to new premises at Pivot Park in Oss, The Netherlands
Oss, The Netherlands, October 21, 2019 —www.citryll.com Citryll announced today that it
has occupied new office and lab space at the Pivot Park in Oss the Netherlands.
“Pivot Park is located at the former Merck R&D sites, the birthplace of Keytruda among
some of the approved medicines. Pivot Park houses promising product development
companies and valuable pharmaceutical service organizations, forming an attractive
ecosystem for drug discovery and drug development” says CEO Helmuth van Es.
“Citryll’s lead product CIT-013 interferes with the formation, function and clearance of
neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Increasingly NETs are shown to play important roles in
different human pathologies including for example organ damage, autoimmune diseases,
wound healing and cancer metastasis. Pivot Park is an excellent environment for Citryll to
further investigate CIT-013’s mechanism of action, as well as to develop all bioanalytical
assays needed for CMC and clinical development”, says CSO Renato Chirivi.
