Throughout the process, the Nicotine Science Center will benefit from its position as an affiliate of Fertin Pharma. As Fertin Pharma is a world leader in the development and manufacturing of medicated chewing gum, such as nicotine gum, the distance between high quality research and development of more effective products will thus be short.

Fertin Pharma will naturally be highly involved in the Center, as the Center offers a possibility to take on research projects, which potentially lead to new discoveries within the field of nicotine and, possibly, product innovation.
