Zennova Pharmaceuticals, a Princeton, NJ-based development stage pharmaceutical company focused on complex ophthalmic suspensions and emulsions, hosted a dedication for its manufacturing plant and R&D center on January 11, 2023 in Chengdu, China. The construction of the multi-dosage formulation center signifies completion of a key company milestone in the company’s pathway towards globalization.

“The capability to produce high-quality drugs during 2023 will be crucial to long-term growth initiatives,” said Dahai Guo, president, Zennova.

According to the company, recent noteworthy accomplishments helping to clear the pathway to pipeline asset approvals include U.S. FDA submission of Zenno-01 to FDA, agency audit of Zennova’s New York laboratories, and a successful FDA audit of current U.S.-based CDMO and analytical partners.
