Center for Translational Research Sweden AB (CTR) acquires Toxicology Knowledge Team Sweden AB (TKT) further strengthening the CTR group with optimized toxicological support.

From April 1, TKT is a fully owned subsidiary to the holding company CTR, states the company in a press release.

Elinor Hahne will continue as CEO of TKT

The activities at TKT will continue without interruption and with the same staff, in the same facilities in Södertälje, Sweden. Elinor Hahne will continue to lead the team as CEO. The company will strengthen their partnership with the other companies in the CTR group, which means shortened communications paths and easier connection between preclinic and clinic.

“We are very proud to welcome the TKT team to CTR. Their expertise in toxicology combined with the CTR group´s expertise in clinical translational research will enable an efficient seamless service to our clients in bringing new products to the market. The ultimate winners are the patients who will get access to new and improved products sooner,” says Bengt Dahlström, chairman of the board at CTR.
