Just one year ago, on June 19, 2019, Olivier Laureau, President of Servier, laid the foundation stone of the Servier Paris-Saclay Research Institute. This event symbolized the renewal of the Group’s research within the dynamic Paris-Saclay cluster. A look at this future center of therapeutic innovation for the benefit of patients.
The Servier Paris-Saclay Research Institute represents a major step for Servier Group in achieving more open, dynamic and productive research that serves patients. 600 Servier researchers will thus be working together in a single location dedicated to interdisciplinary innovation in the Paris-Saclay cluster. This pooling of research activities will enable Servier teams to accelerate projects decision-making, encourage the development of partnerships, explore new ways of collaborating, pool their know-how more effectively and strengthen good practices sharing.
“By combining the research activities of our four French sites into a single, unique, and state-of-the-art center in Paris-Saclay, Servier Group is continuing to support France whilst attracting researchers from around the world.”
