SHANGHAI and PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc. (NYSE: WX), a leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device R&D outsourcing company with operations in China and the United States, and Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT), an innovator in novel transgenic animals for development of human therapeutic antibodies, today announced that they have entered into an agreement to use OMT's OmniRat™ to develop therapeutic antibody candidates for commercialization by WuXi's global customers.

This transaction advances WuXi's goal of working with skilled partners to enhance the company's platform of technologies and capabilities to serve its customers better.

"Providing discovery, development and manufacturing services for novel therapeutic antibodies represents an important new global business initiative for WuXi. We are investing heavily in building our capabilities and capacity in biologics services, which we expect to be a key driver of revenue growth for our company in the coming years."

Dr. Roland Buelow, founder and CEO of OMT, continued, "The collaboration with WuXi further advances OMT's efforts to deploy its human antibody platform globally. Under the collaboration, OMT can leverage WuXi's expertise and capacity to create novel therapeutic candidates for its biopharmaceutical customers and apply OMT's technology to
