“Yesterday we cut the ribbon on the new Tonix Pharmaceuticals facility in the New Bedford Business Park, bringing cutting-edge vaccine development jobs and a growing biotech industry to New Bedford and southeastern Massachusetts. Tonix Pharmaceuticals is where vaccines for COVID, smallpox and other diseases will be developed.
The project will create well-paying jobs for the residents of Greater New Bedford, and validates that our region has the workforce to compete in adavnced industries.” -Jon Mitchell.
During the ceremony, Tonix CEO Seth Lederman presented a donation of $50,000 to the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center.
The 45,000 square-foot facility is located in the New Bedford Business District which stretches into North Dartmouth and when fully operational will employ up to 70 researchers, scientists, and technical support staff.
