FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Quincy Bioscience Moves Headquarters to Madison, Wisconsin
RICHFIELD, Wisconsin (October 15, 2004)
Quincy Bioscience, a developer of therapeutic products for the treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases, announced that it will be moving their cooperate
headquarters from Richfield, Wisconsin to Madison, Wisconsin effective November 1, 2004.
They will inhabit office space at 455 Science Drive within the University Research Park.
"We think that the biotech community in Madison will help our company flourish with
the great human and technological resources there." said Mark Underwood, Vice President
of Product Development. "There are only a handful of communities that can support
an endeavor as large as ours in the country and we are very proud to be in close
proximity to a premier research institution and in a city with a track record of
helping companies succeed."
Quincy Bioscience is developing therapeutics to address the imbalance of calcium
ions that are commonly thought to be related to the neuronal degeneration seen in
such diseases.
Mike Beaman, Quincy Bioscience President and CEO said, "The Richfield location allowed
us to get on our feet as we developed and established our business. Now in Madison
we can go full steam ahead. The opportunities that are in Madison are limitless.
We still maintain an office in Richfield, affiliated with our parent company, so
maybe in time we will be able to help bridge the Madison-Milwaukee biotech gap."
Research for Quincy Bioscience is also underway in the laboratories of Dr. James
Moyer, Quincy's Scientific Advisor, at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
It is the goal of Quincy Bioscience to apply the technology developed from the aequorin
molecule to develop products that fight the diseases of aging. Many different conditions
are related to the disruption of calcium homeostasis and aequorin is being investigated
to see how it may help restore the balance of that critical ion in the human body.
