Adjunct to PMI's major focus on new technologies and subsequent partnerships with pertinent manufacturing/marketing
companies, we continue to provide technical services to industrial partners and key clients in the biomedical and
pharmaceuticals areas. This is expertly accomplished under the auspices of our Analytical & Validation Center
established as a new division in 1996 and dedicated, in part, to contract GLP and non-GLP activities.
These services are extended to the production of high-value biomaterials for industrial partners since the
Bioengineering Center facilities became operational. PMI currently offers the following services:
