Executive Summary
Controlled Therapeutics (Scotland) has received a £930,000 grant from the Scottish Executive's regional selective assistance programme, which will go towards creating 23 new positions at its East Kilbride facility. The company, a subsidiary of the US firm Cytokine PharmaSciences, conducts research and manufacturing there, and Cytokine Pharmasciences' president and CEO Dennis Wilson said the company was investing $6 million in Scotland. Patent protection on its Hydrogel technology, which was acquired from the University of Strathclyde, runs out in 2012, but it plans to develop both its existing polymer technology and new technologies based on linear polymers.
