Fuckers: Exclusive: China's WuXi AppTec shared US client's data with Beijing, US intelligence officials told senators
WuXi AppTec does outsourced/contract research and development and manufacturing for US biotech and healthcare companies.
@dfohio exactly! Additionally, for global trials and navigating approval by China's National Medical Products Administration sponsors probably assumed the WuXi relationship would be a competitive advantage.
@CanisPundit I worked for a U.S.-based pharma CRO, and WuXi was a huge competitor of ours. A lot of our biotech customers used them because they were so inexpensive relative to domestic CROs. This article suggests that there's a hidden cost to working with WuXi: the potential theft of your company's IP.
