Pipex Pharmaceuticals hires former Pfizer workers, has three job openings
Pipex Pharamaceuticals is helping budding drug companies on their journey to FDA approval. Good thing it’s staying put to do it, bringing in three more people to Ann Arbor.
Discovering new drugs or receiving FDA approval for them are the glamor times for the pharmaceutical industry, but soemwhere between the point of discovery and the marketplace is where most drug development goes to die.
Pipex Pharmaceuticals helps shepherd companies through this time. The Ann Arbor-based firm specializes in guiding life science firms through the regulatory gauntlet and it has enjoyed a lot of home-grown success in the process. To wit, the firm is looking to add three people immediately.
“We’re recruiting right now for several senior- and mid-level positions,” says Nicholas Stergis, CEO of Pipex Pharmaceuticals. “We’re still very much in the growth phase.”
The company started with one person in 2001 and now has eight employees. Of those eight, three are former Pfizer workers. The company also brings in contractors on as-needed basis.
“We were focuses on manufacturing and commercializing,” Stergis says. “We have refocuses the company on future products. We are pretty excited about some of our compounds.”
