Evotec AG announced that CHDI Foundation, Inc. has extended its collaboration with Evotec through to 2023. Over this period, CHDI may fund up to 75 full-time scientists at Evotec.

Dr Mario Polywka, Chief Operating Officer of Evotec, commented: “We are delighted to sign this five-year extension with CHDI. Both parties have developed a tremendous relationship based on progressing excellent science to develop effective treatments for Huntington’s disease. We are proud to be part of this global initiative led by the great team at CHDI.”
