WOBURN, Mass.

“The movement of our headquarters will serve as a springboard for continued growth, allowing our company to fully insource our manufacturing and testing operations, further build our highly skilled workforce, and continue to advance our portfolio of pipeline products towards commercialization,” said Neal I.

In addition to expanded office and meeting space for the Company’s growing team, the new headquarters space will include a state-of-the-art research and development facility to expand and accelerate the Company’s portfolio of development programs, including two pipeline drugs slated to be submitted to the FDA for approval at the end of this year and first quarter of next year, respectively.
“Massachusetts’ innovation economy is globally renowned and the Baker-Polito Administration will continue to invest in this vital ecosystem,” said Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy. “Companies like CutisPharma develop lifesaving products, create high-paying jobs for residents, and join peer businesses and universities to collaborate on solving the challenges of today and tomorrow. We congratulate CutisPharma on its expansion and look forward to its continued growth and contributions.”
