Asterand Bioscience, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of AdeptBio LLC, a Memphis-based biobank organization, which specializes in procurement of human tissue specimens.

“We are delighted to have AdeptBio join our organization,” says Peter Ferrigno, CCO of Asterand Bioscience. “Together, we will strengthen our partnership with the pharmaceutical and diagnostic community; providing unparalleled quality samples, highly regulated collection and tailored specifications, for their research needs.”

Dr. Lee Schwartzberg, founder of AdeptBio, LLC, added, “The development of new targeted therapies and companion diagnostics rely on availability of tissues, and increasingly biofluids, linked to deep clinical data. Joining AdeptBio’s network with Asterand Bioscience’s network will strengthen their ability to partner and serve the pharmaceutical and diagnostic community.”

AdeptBio’s people and supply network will be incorporated into Asterand Bioscience’s existing custom procurement offering, expanding our exceptional global network of more than 80 collaborating donor institutions. This individually managed custom collection service allows Asterand Bioscience to deliver human tissues, biofluids, and accompanying clinical information in a manner which is most compatible with specific experimental needs of the pharmaceutical and diagnostic community.
