Canadian medical diagnostic company MedMira is expanding its presence in the United States by opening its first office in this country in Buckhead.

MedMira specializes in providing instant diagnoses for conditions such as HIV and hepatitis and has decided to gain ground in the U.S. marketplace, according to a statement.

“MedMira’s new business is largely focused on the US, and we are devoting significant resources to expand our sales, product lines, and customer base here. The submission of our latest rapid HIV test for FDA approval earlier this year was just the start of expanded product lines we plan to introduce in the US market as we work directly or with strategic distribution partners to bring our RVF technology and rapid tests to customers,” said Dr. Kevin Jones, Senior Director of Global Sales & Marketing.

Jones said that Atlanta’s transportation infrastructure, warehousing capacity, and the presence of medical entities such as the CDC, the FDA, and others made Atlanta the sensible choice for expansion into the U.S.

The Buckhead office will be in the Buckhead Tower at 3339 Peachtree Road and will house sales and customer service personnel.
