Furthermore, I am particularly enthusiastic to be able to follow the project of an anti Covid-19 therapy, which Kedrion is developing alongside its research partner Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York and the Israeli company Kamada”.

Marcucci further commented: “The road which Kedrion embarked upon many years ago envisages a strong drive towards internationalization in markets such as the USA, and a responsibility towards Italy and its health system. Val Romberg upholds this course and has the total support of the Board of Directors and all of Kedrion’s shareholders. It will be stimulating to work alongside him, facing this new season of our company together”.
