  • PARTNERSHIP LEVERAGES EVOTEC’S HUMAN IPSC-BASED PHENOTYPIC SCREENING AND PANOMICS PLATFORMS 
  • AIM IS TO IDENTIFY AND VALIDATE PROMISING TARGETS AND NEW APPROACHES FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS

Hamburg 25 January 2022:
Evotec announced today that the Company has entered a target and drug discovery partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, focusing on induced pluripotent stem cell (“iPSC”)-based disease modelling for ophthalmologic disorders. Millions of people are affected by vision-related diseases worldwide, and there is a high unmet need for novel therapeutic solutions.
