PLANEGG, Germany - eTradeWire -- Assay.Works GmbH and ISAR Bioscience GmbH signed a collaboration agreement to jointly develop new therapeutics in the fields of regenerative medicine using state-of-the-art stem cell technologies. Using their complementary expertise, capabilities and resources covering industrial drug discovery processes the partners will jointly advance high-potential projects with an initial focus on neurodegenerative disorders.

Projects will be sourced from the partners' own project portfolios and their networks. ISAR and Assay.Works will cooperate closely throughout the drug discovery process in alignment with their strategic collaboration partners. ISAR contributes its leading stem cell and genomic engineering know-how to generate next generation disease models and assay technologies that improve drug candidate discovery and validation as well as patient stratification in clinical trials. Assay.Works adds its proven lead discovery engine including a pharma-grade 150k library of lead-like and bioactive small molecules, cell-based and phenotypic assay technologies, and workflow automation to support the discovery and characterization of novel drug candidates.

"We are excited to partner with the scientific team at ISAR. Their stem cell platform perfectly fits our mission to develop and apply predictable and relevant assays for therapeutics discovery," says Johannes Knop, Assay.Works founder and COO. Ulrich Gerth, CEO of ISAR, continues: "Applied stem cell biology and genome engineering technologies have advanced enormously and enable development of disease models for complex diseases. We currently forge strategic partnerships with industry partners in priority areas to translate scientific breakthroughs into therapies. This agreement is highly valuable because Assay.Works brings in more than 15 years of profound industry experience in High-Throughput Screening (HTS) and therapeutics discovery technologies."
