Argenta expands collaboration with Genentech to include BioFocus
Argenta’s collaboration with Genentech dates back to 2005. The current agreement covers a number of drug discovery programs that utilize Argenta's expertise in computer-aided drug design (CADD), medicinal chemistry, and in vitro biology and screening to discover new chemical entities acting against undisclosed drug targets defined by Genentech. Under the amendment announced today, BioFocus will provide Genentech with integrated medicinal chemistry, in vitro biology and ADME services.
“We are delighted that Genentech has expanded its small-molecule drug discovery outsourcing into BioFocus, and we regard it as testament to the complementary expertise and technological capabilities that Argenta and BioFocus possess,” said Chris Newton, Senior Vice President, Galapagos Services.
