MARYVILLE, Tenn. \u2013 <\/strong>Feb. 28, 2018\u2013Leon Williams Contractors<\/a>, a Maryville-based commercial design-build firm, has completed a renovation for regional medical testing provider Molecular Pathology Laboratory Network (MPLN) that will allow MPLN to conduct a high-level six-month biotechnology clinical trial in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese trials present a great opportunity for our company, so it was important for us to work with a team we trusted,\u201d said Roger A. Hubbard, founder, president and CEO of MPLN. \u201cWe had very specific needs for this project, and Leon Williams Contractors fulfilled every one of them. They offered the skill, precision and experience we were looking for, and they communicated clearly throughout the process so we knew exactly what was happening the whole time. Now we can start these clinical trials with complete confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project converted a one-room lab at MPLN\u2019s 27,000-square-foot downtown Maryville headquarters into two state-of-the-art laboratories connected by a corridor. In order to accommodate the upcoming clinical trials, the two labs have been equipped with a complex split-air-pressure system. The system keeps positive air pressure in one room and negative air pressure in the other in order to prevent contamination between the two rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was an extremely technical project for us, but we\u2019re happy to say that we got it done on time and under budget,\u201d said Jimmy Hawkins, president of Leon Williams Contractors. \u201cThere\u2019s almost no room for error, since any contamination might invalidate the scientific trials. The MPLN team gave us a detailed plan that guided us from start to finish, and now they\u2019re ready to get started with their clinical trials.\u201d<\/p>\n

MPLN provides an expanding menu of molecular diagnostics, specialty anatomic pathology, flow cytometry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and cytogenetic testing for pathology groups, hospitals, medical laboratories, and physician groups nationwide.<\/p>\n
