th, CREW Boston Meds & Eds Group hosted members for the first industry tour of Moderna’s new World Headquarters.
Located at 325 Binney Street in Cambridge, this architecturally distinguished facility exemplifies world-class sustainability, featuring a flexible lab footprint designed to accommodate evolving scientific endeavors.
