Why NanoMedica is in Winston-Salem

This morning, Roger Cubiciotti, Ph.D., President of NanoMedica, spoke at the Piedmont Triad Research Park’s Seminar Series about his company and how it is using nanotechnology to develop better medicine for the treatment of diseases, including cancer. NanoMedica’s philosophy centers around “discovering more with less,” so it can dramatically accelerate the drug-discovery process.

NanoMedica recently relocated to Winston-Salem from New Jersey and Dr. Cubiciotti said that the assets here provide the ideal location for his company. Those assets include the accessible talent of NanoMedica’s partners, such as Wake Forest University’s Physics Department, the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, and the Office of Technology Asset Management at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center; the support received from organizations such as the North Carolina Biotechnology Center and the Piedmont Triad Research Park; and the affordable cost of laboratory space and doing business in Winston-Salem.
