Evotec SE, which claims to have one of the industry’s biggest platforms for developing induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, has further expanded its partnership activities in the field. Under a 2016 agreement with Celgene Corp, now part of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Evotec has been using iPS cells to identify prospective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. This agreement has now been broadened to include additional cell lines. The cell lines were not identified.
