CDEX Inc., which last month received a patent for a chemical-detection system it is marketing to the homeland security industry, is moving its headquarters in with its research and development laboratory at 4555 S. Palo Verde Road, from Rockville, Md.

As part of the move, the company is looking for a new CEO to replace Jim Griffin, who is stepping down because he did not want to relocate, although the company said he is supportive of the move. Tim Shriver is interim president and CEO.

CDEX said it expects to finish the move by the end of the first quarter.
