"The goal of Evolution is not one single human, it is mankind."

Eigen's theories about self-organisation of complex molecules and his development of the evolution machine founded a new branch of science – evolutionary biotechnology.

Manfred Eigen (1927–2019) Co-founder of Evotec, Nobel Prize 1967

Together for medicines that matter

Game changers within business to business / partnered R&D and pipeline building

Need for more precision

Most drugs still provide benefit in only 50% of patients

Need for better disease understanding

More than 30% have a lifetime risk for cancer

Need for better safety earlier 60% of all drugs still do not pass Phase I

Need for wider access

Less than 20% of world's population have access to life changing biotherapeutics

Better pipeline building Right indication, right patients, right dose

Technology convergence A.I./ML coming together with drug discovery, development, safety prediction and molecular diagnostics

Better Access A.I./M and continuous manufacturing for better access to biologics

Better business models Shared economy in R&D

  • From fixed to variable costs
  • More effective learning curves for all

PanOmics

Changing the healthcare paradigm with PanOmics

From symptomatic treatments to data-driven healthcare

IPSCs "off-the-shelf" cell therapy based on inducedpluripotent stem cells

From humans for humans

iPSC-based drug discovery and off-the-shelf cell therapy

Off-the-shelf approach will revolutionise cell therapy applications

Benefit of manufacturing process for iPSC-based therapeutics

iPSC-based off-the-shelf therapeutics

  • Reduced manufacturing complexity: Patient is not part of manufacturing process
  • Unlimited starting material
  • Versatile & high-fidelity gene editing
  • Consistent quality of final product
  • On demand product available to patients
  • Broad applicability: Suitable for multiple cell types & disease areas
