Evotec SE has announced the extension of its 20-year collaboration with CHDI Foundation, Inc. CHDI is a privately funded nonprofit biomedical research organisation exclusively dedicated to collaboratively developing therapeutics that will substantially improve the lives of those affected by Huntington's disease. The collaboration will further fundamental scientific understanding of the disease and thereby aid the development of new effective treatments. The collaboration utilises Evotec's integrated neuroscience platform and broad expertise in CNS drug discovery and development.

It covers a wide range of biology and chemistry services supported by compound and library management, target validation, stem-cell research, high-content screening, computational chemistry, pharmacology, protein production, and biomarker discovery and validation across multiple sites. Initiated in 2006, the long-standing collaboration is one of the largest strategic drug discovery alliances within Evotec.
