NCBCE Member Biogen RTP Wins Global AwardThe kudos continue to roll in for Biogen Idec, which makes its multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri at its manufacturing plant in Research Triangle Park. The Boston-based firm's RTP factory landed the Facility of the Year Award for Operational Excellence in the sixth annual awards program sponsored jointly by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering, the group's associated trade show called INTERPHEX, and by Pharmaceutical Processing magazine. "We're gratified to receive this prestigious award highlighting how engineering supports Biogen Idec's mission to serve patients and our growing product pipeline," said John Ward, the firm's vice president of global engineering. "It reflects exceptional teamwork among partners who came together to tackle a major renovation under tight timelines to maintain the world-class status of our Research Triangle Park facility." Last year Biogen was named "Company of the Year" by Pharmaceutical Executive magazine.
