Located in Houston, Texas, the new facility allows FibroBiologics to expand its research and development efforts utilizing fibroblast-based technology April 08, 2025 08:30 ET | Source: Fibrobiologics, Inc. HOUSTON, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics”) , a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 240+ patents issued and pending for the development of therapeutics and potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and fibroblast-derived materials, today announced the opening of a new laboratory facility that will expand the company’s ability to pioneer additional candidates for chronic disease-focused indications leveraging its novel fibroblast-based technology. The new laboratory space will increase the company’s pace of discovery for potential therapeutics including multiple chronic disease indications and will enhance the development of treatment candidates for upcoming target indications. The company plans to hire additional researchers to help staff the facility and join FibroBiologics’ mission to combat chronic diseases using its fibroblast-based technology platform. The facility encompasses over 10,000-square-feet of lab and office space, with the potential of bringing in-house our GMP manufacturing for our drug product candidates we plan to use in our future clinical trials. “This expansion marks a transformative step forward for our company and our mission,” said Pete O’Heeron, CEO and Founder of FibroBiologics. “By significantly increasing the size of our lab, we are creating the space and infrastructure needed to foster greater innovation and accelerate scientific breakthroughs. This new facility will allow our teams to explore a broader pipeline of candidates, collaborate more effectively, and push the boundaries of what is possible in treating chronic diseases. With this added capacity, we are not only scaling up our research efforts but also paving the way for in-house manufacturing of our cell therapy products. Having full control of the manufacturing process will help us streamline the supply chain and reduce our reliance on external partners. Most importantly, this investment in growth and innovation strengthens our ability to deliver life-changing therapies to patients faster and more efficiently than ever before.” Hamid Khoja, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of FibroBiologics added, “To date, our progress in developing potentially transformative therapeutic candidates for chronic diseases using fibroblasts has been remarkable. This new laboratory facility will enable further expansion and acceleration of our research and development efforts. Additionally, the expansive new space will enable us to bring in-house currently outsourced projects, expand our science team and further contribute to the increased efficiency of our R&D efforts.” For more information, please visit FibroBiologics' website or email FibroBiologics at: info@fibrobiologics.com.
