AKESOgen Triples Its Peachtree Corners, Georgia, Office-Research Campus
Area Development Online News Desk (01/03/2014)
A genomics and biorepository services company, AKESOgen will more than triple its square footage in Gwinnett County, Metro Atlanta, Georgia, area, with its move to a 13,727-square-foot facility at 3155 Northwoods Place in the City of Peachtree Corners. The company expects to add up to an additional ten employees in 2014.

“Since our inception just over three years ago, we have been impressed with the resources, support, and growth opportunities available to biotech companies in Gwinnett County, metro Atlanta and Georgia,” stated Dr. Mark Bouzyk, Chief Scientific Officer for AKESOgen, Inc. “This larger facility will both strengthen our ability to deliver genomics research and development, as well as complement our existing competence in the biotech field.”

“Innovative life science companies such as AKESOgen are what make our state the healthcare hub of the Southeast,” said Carol Henderson, director of life sciences and technology at the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “AKESOgen will lay the foundation for tomorrow’s life science discovery, and we are confident that Georgia’s pro-business climate can support the company in doing so.”

“Our goal as a region is to broaden and enhance life science and technology in the region and an expansion such as this one demonstrates the success of those efforts,” commented Nick Masino, Chair of Georgia’s Innovation Crescent and Senior Vice President of Gwinnett Chamber Economic Development and Partnership Gwinnett. “As a member of the Innovation Crescent Regional Partnership, Gwinnett Chamber Economic Development actively works to promote, support and encourage the growth of companies in these industries.”

“We welcome AKESOgen, and view its investment in the City of Peachtree Corners and Gwinnett as a testament to our community’s strength in this developing, vibrant and progressive industry,” said City of Peachtree Corners Mayor Mike Mason.
