EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- BioMedicines, Inc., a leading developer of therapies for patients with cancer, immunological, and infectious diseases, announced today that it has changed its name to Intarcia Therapeutics, Inc.
Commenting on the new corporate name, Intarcia Therapeutics’ CEO, Alice Leung said, “During the Renaissance, Italian artisans created inlaid mosaics out of various types of hardwoods -- this art form is called Intarsia.
