BioFocus and IMD team up for natural drug discovery
The marketing collaboration will allow BioFocus to team its expertise as an integrated drug discovery service partner with IMD’s natural product lead-discovery know-how.
And the new alliance will allow them to offer their new natural product services to the pharmaceutical industry, as well as in animal health, and agrochemical industries.
Under the terms of the collaboration, IMD will make allow availability of its natural product screening libraries available as well as providing follow-on services to BioFocus.
In-turn BioFocus will incorporate these as part of its own integrated drug discovery offerings.
“We believe that the combination of our natural product capabilities with the well known discovery capabilities of BioFocus will offer a powerful discovery solution at a time when there is already growing demand from the pharma, veterinary and agro industries to fill depleted pipelines,” said Thomas Henkel, co-Managing Director of IMD.
