MEDICAL DEVICES company Biotrin is to create 40 new jobs in Dublin in a project that will establish the site as corporate headquarters for the molecular diagnostics research and development of Italian parent company Diasorin.
The investment will bring the total number employed in Ireland by Biotrin to 100.
The high-end jobs are part of a new research and development project in Dublin, which is being backed by IDA Ireland.
The project will involve the development of automated molecular diagnostics platform technology and assay reagents for the detection of target DNA and RNA in infectious diseases. It will be based on a new form of technology called loop-mediated isothermal amplification.
Biotrin, which came to Ireland in 1992, develops technologies to run diagnostic tests for common infectious diseases. The jobs will be in research and development, manufacturing and marketing.
