No­vo Nordisk turns to Evotec to build ear­ly-stage pipeline for di­a­betes, obe­si­ty drugs

The Eu­ro­pean dis­cov­ery out­fit at Evotec has signed up an­oth­er ma­jor league play­er in bio­phar­ma, and they’re prep­ping an ear­ly-stage pipeline right where their part­ner is most care­ful­ly fo­cused.

No­vo Nordisk is step­ping up to work with Evotec this time. The sci­en­tists at Evotec will go to work build­ing a pre­clin­i­cal pipeline of small mol­e­cules pri­mar­i­ly con­cen­trat­ing on di­a­betes and obe­si­ty — where No­vo makes its mon­ey and plans to ex­pand. And NASH, car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­eases and di­a­bet­ic kid­ney dis­ease are all on the menu.
