This includes a reduction of the cost base, streamlining of the production processes for increased production capacity and a reduction of material requirements from customers. The Group has continued to build and convert the commercial pipeline, including the recent announcement of a partnership with a genetic medicines company for Optimer development to support targeted delivery of new medicines.
