Evotec, Active Biotech Ink Screening Pact

Evotec AG announced it has entered into a collaboration with Active Biotech AB to identify small-molecule modulators of a priority biological target, selected by the latter company, involved in immune disorders and cancer.

The former company, a novel small-molecule drugs discovery and development company, will use its technologies in assay development, high-throughput screening and surface plasmon resonance screening for the identification and validation of novel hits. It will screen its Lead Discovery Library, a small-molecule collection, to maximize the probability of finding medicinal chemistry starting points.

Active Biotech, of Lund, Sweden, is an autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and cancer biotechnology company.
