SynTech Research Acquires Bayer Ecotoxicology and Analytical Capability
SynTech Research is acquiring Bayer CropScience’s state-of-the-art U.S.-based ecotoxicology capability at the Bayer Research Park near Stilwell, Kan.
The unit’s activities include short and long-term avian (acute and reproduction) and aquatic (fish, plants, invertebrates and amphibia) studies. Thirteen of the current Bayer CropScience ecotoxicology staff at the Stilwell site will transfer to SynTech Research, and will continue to perform studies for Bayer CropScience. SynTech intends to add further staff to increase the unit’s capacity, particularly in regulatory/risk assessment.
“This is a very exciting event for SynTech Research, allowing us to make a global extension of our Ecotoxicology offering, already well represented in Europe,” said Dr. Khosro Khodayari, president and CEO of SynTech Research. “We can now provide a complete package to our clients worldwide, including avian, aquatic, bee and non-target organism studies, accompanied by analytical and regulatory support.”
The ecotoxicology, analytical and QA teams at Stilwell will form part of a new SynTech Research company — SynTech Research Laboratory Services LLC.
