Tromsø, Norway, 9[th] March 2022 - ArcticZymes Technologies ASA (OSE: AZT)
announces the establishment of a new application development laboratory at
ShareLab in Oslo.
ArcticZymes Technologies has signed an agreement with ShareLab AS to lease
laboratory facilities at its premises in the Oslo Science Park. These facilities

the CompanyŽs enzymes in customer relevant workflows and technologies. This is
an essential part of the innovation process and strengthens the commercial value
proposition of the CompanyŽs product offerings.

biotechnology companies. It conveniently provides the necessary amenities and
shared core equipment suited to ArcticZymesŽ requirements which means minimal
capital investments to get started. Furthermore, ShareLabŽs location in the Oslo
Science Park is central to the Norwegian biotechnology industry and life science
research.
The Oslo location will allow access to a broad talent pool of commercially
-experienced application scientists. Also, as the Company continues to grow it
has strategic relevance to have part of ArcticZymes located at the heart of the
Norwegian biotech industry.
Dr. Darren Ellis has been hired to lead the activities at ShareLab and is
currently recruiting two application scientists. Dr. Ellis brings over 20 years
of industrial R&D experience (from Solexa (now Illumina) and Thermo Fisher
Scientific) in leading and developing molecular research and In Vitro Diagnostic
(IVD) applications, technologies, and products. Furthermore, he has global
expertise in Business-to-Business (B2B) application development, successfully
helping commercial partners/customers to bring their technologies and product
developments to market.

into Oslo. The new applications team and laboratory are integral to the
