Hua Tu, the founder and CEO of LakePharma Inc., is focused on taking what he calls the “Silicon Valley way” and applying it to the staid industry of biotech manufacturing.
LakePharma, a Belmont-based startup focused on the research, development and production of antibodies and proteins used in lifesaving medications, started in 2009 with no outside funding and half of a single lab space.
Five years later, LakePharma is a growing biologics contract research organization providing its full range of services to clients that include multinational pharmaceutical companies. It’s now seeing annual triple-digit revenue growth.
