Evotec and APEIRON Biologics build Pain Alliance

Read time: Less than a minute
Evotec AG has announced that it has entered into a collaboration with Apeiron Biologics AG, to initially identify small molecule modulators of DREAM (Downstream Regulatory Element Antagonistic Modulator), a novel target involved in perception of various pain mechanisms. Further projects will be evaluated to potentially expand this cooperation in due course.

Evotec will apply, in a first instance, its expertise in cellular assay development with opportunities for the project to rapidly move into hit identification and beyond.

Dr Hans Loibner, Chief Executive Officer at Apeiron Biologics, commented: “Combining our two companies’ skills is an excellent way to move forward with this innovative and promising project. We have worked with Evotec in the past and continue to be impressed by the quality of the work performed there.”

Dr Werner Lanthaler, Chief Executive Officer at Evotec stated: “Apeiron is certainly one of the most exciting young biotech companies in Europe. We are happy that through the optimal use of R&D outsourcing Evotec can add value here.”
