Mr. Gregg said, “AmbioPharm has invested significant effort and capital building out its systems, organization, buildings, and equipment, and the company is well-positioned to capture the opportunities in the global peptide CDMO market. It is an exciting time to take the reins of the company and I look forward to working with the leadership team to capitalize on these opportunities as well as to deliver high-quality products and service excellence for AmbioPharm’s customers.”
