THE GREEN EAST ADDS REAL VALUE

Orthros Medical is a biotech company located on The Green East. The company led by Robert Jan Lamers develops and produces antibodies for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These antibodies, originating from llamas, are being developed into medicines for humans and animals, mainly aimed at osteoarthritis.


Orthros Medical has established itself at The Green East, because the high-quality laboratories needed to produce these antibodies are available there. The company also wanted to establish itself on the eastern side of the country, because it works closely with the University of Twente. Orthros Medical employees have often studied at the University of Twente or Saxion University of Applied Sciences. The next advantage of The Green East is that Lamers mentions that it is spacious and you can take a break by following the walking routes in the meadows around The Green East during the breaks. Orthros Medical’s ambition is to clinically apply the antibodies they develop and produce in humans and animals. The company expects to experience rapid growth in people and projects.
