Telix Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, this week announced plans to add 20 executive-level and administrative positions to its U.S. headquarters at 12 Municipal Drive, Fishers.
Telix Pharmaceuticals U.S. established its operations for radiopharmaceutical development and manufacturing in Fishers in early 2020.
“Establishing our U.S. headquarters in Fishers, Indiana, is an important step in our strategy for global expansion,” said Dr. Bernard Lambert, President Telix Americas. “We’re thrilled to be able to find a city that has the manufacturing infrastructure to support our operational expansion in the United States. We are excited for Telix’s future as we advance our pipeline of diagnostic and therapeutic products, and we will continue to implement our strategy that includes growing our team in the United States.”
Telix participated in a late-cycle review meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last month regarding a New Drug Application (NDA) for the Company’s prostate cancer imaging investigational product Illuccix. Telix anticipates FDA approval of Illuccix by the end of 2021.
“We are well-positioned to lead on radiopharmaceutical distribution because of our central location and the time-sensitivity around patient access,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “With the recent surge of life science cluster development in Fishers, we are excited to welcome Telix to the Fishers community.”
Telix is currently recruiting for open positions and encourages qualified individuals to review available job opportunities at this link.
“Telix had 49 other options to establish its U.S. headquarters, and we couldn’t be more grateful they chose Indiana to put down new roots,” said Jim Staton, Senior Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). “We’re proud to have them join Indiana’s thriving life sciences sector and look forward to supporting their growth as they provide high-quality jobs for Hoosiers.”
The IEDC offered Telix Pharmaceuticals (U.S.) Inc. up to $500,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired.
