Ver­tex ex­pands its San Diego R&D hub, adding a new wing for col­lab­o­ra­tors as it cen­ters on CF re­search

Ver­tex is ex­pand­ing R&D op­er­a­tions — in San Diego.

The big biotech com­pa­ny for­mal­ly cut the rib­bon to­day on a big­ger fa­cil­i­ty that ex­tends their foot­print in the re­gion to 170,000 square feet.

The new R&D site is large­ly de­vot­ed to work on new cys­tic fi­bro­sis drugs, where Ver­tex has been mak­ing rapid progress with some next-gen ther­a­pies. There’s al­so a 4,000-square-foot in­cu­ba­tor to work with new part­ners in San Diego, one of three re­search cen­ters Ver­tex iden­ti­fied when it steered the re­search group in­to a re­or­ga­ni­za­tion a lit­tle more than a year ago.
