Only few moments in science are undisputed as genuine and elegant in creativity and simplicity
Shinya Yamanaka – Discovered iPSC in 2007 – Nobel prize in Medicine 2012
"The induced pluripotent stem cells created by Shinya Yamanaka will allow us to interrogate and understand the full extent and variation of human disease, will enable us to develop new medicines and will forever change the way science and medicine will be conducted for the benefit of mankind."1)
iPSC technology shifts the drug discovery paradigm in drug discovery as well as cell-based therapy

Evotec and Celgene: Alliance in neurodegeneration
Next Steps
Clear strategy towards global leadership in iPSC- based drug discovery
From scientific discovery to strategy
Neurological diseases will remain a serious threat to public health
Societal burden of CNS related diseases is daunting1)
Why CNS diseases?
Constitute the biggest health care challenge
- Dementia accounted for 46 Mio. patients in 2015
- Cost of care globally exceeded USD >650 billion in 20153)
- No effective treatments for most CNS diseases as of today
Why neurodegenerative diseases (ND)?
ND cause progressive loss of neurons in the brain
- Genetically inherited or of unknown etiology
- Severe debilitating effects causing ataxia and dementia
- Dementia is expected to account for >131 million patients by 20503)
Why patient derived ?
iPSC technology is uniquely suited to approach ND
- Patient derived disease models are expected to be more predictive than traditional animal models
- Allow systematic screening and profiling of compounds
- Allow early patient stratification
