ONE OF Wokingham’s four MPs paid a visit to a research and development company to learn more about its work.
Sir John Redwood met the teams at BioInteractions in the Thames Valley Science Park, Shinfield.
The firm specialises in biomaterial technologies for the worldwide medical device industry.
Director Arjun Luthra and Dr Sajinder Luthra gave Sir John a tour of the laboratories where research, production and testing of their coatings are all done in the same building at Collegiate Square, Shinfield.
After the visit, Sir John said it was good that the firm was hiring residents to work on “crucial issues” facing the NHS and overseas medical services.
“There is always room to improve infection control to reduce the numbers of people who develop a condition after surgery and treatment,” he said.
And the visit was welcomed by the company.
“It was a pleasure to invite Sir John Redwood to the BioInteractions facility” said MR Luthra.
“We were delighted to welcome him to our laboratories, where we research and manufacture some of the most innovative solutions to infection control problems faced today.”
He said the company had been part of the community for more than 30 years.
“We continue to support the local economy through our work, as well as supporting the NHS through our products and services,” Mr Luthra said.
“We are looking forward to continuing that work, and trying to tackle some of the biggest issues in infection control that impact us all.
“We are grateful for Sir John’s visit to BioInteractions, and look forward to updating him on our work in the coming months.”
