I was not aware of Athenix until this afternoon. Well they’re moving and I guess that’s due to business being very, very good.

Following a year of significant growth, Athenix Corp. is moving its operations from Durham to Research Triangle Park today. The move is the latest indicator of success at Athenix, a leading biotechnology company that develops novel products and technologies for agricultural and sustainable industrial applications. The company anticipates continued growth in years to come.

On the heels of exceptional results from its 2006 field trials, Athenix announced in November that it is advancing its lead products into registration and commercial development. The field trials evaluated proprietary genes for resistance to key corn insect pests as well as tolerance to the world’s leading herbicide, glyphosate.
