CYTO Consulting brings Europe’s viral vector competence to USA

CYTO assists international life sciences companies as they expand into the US market. CYTO offers a full breadth of services from scientific and business services to subsidiary formation.

Establishing a local US presence has been a key strategic objective for SIRION, in order to serve our local customers better than we could from Munich. CYTO Consulting acts as our local partner as it understands our science, the specifics of the US market and it has a well-established local network; this was instrumental in getting things started. CYTO Consulting provided all aspects of our US market entry, including business and tactical planning, US-corporate structure advice, setting up a local office, launch event organization, business development and customer outreach, and even local recruitment.” said Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of SIRION, Dieter Lingelbach.

“Having CYTO as a reliable partner who can implement our strategy locally was important for the success and speedy execution of our US expansion plan,” added Dr. Christian Thirion, Chief Executive Officer of Sirion.

“Speaking the same language as our clients, certainly helped to transport SIRION’s unique culture from its headquarter in Munich, Germany, into its newly launched US subsidiary in Cambridge, MA,” mentioned Mike Steyer, Senior Partner at CYTO, and SIRION Project Lead.

“SIRION is a key client for CYTO and will be taking advantage of the full breadth of our services. With our hands-on approach, we have been able to get them up to speed quickly and establish their US market presence, thus lowering the risk of a complex endeavor. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such a talented team and exciting technology,” said Dr. Odilo Mueller, President of CYTO.
