Evotec SE ((Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, OTC:EVOTF, NASDAQ:EVO) announced today that the Company has entered a partnership with Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin (“Charité”), one of the leading and largest university hospitals in Europe, to generate a molecular patient database for ANCA-associated vasculitis (“AAV”), a collection of relatively rare autoimmune diseases of unknown cause, characterised by inflammation of blood vessels.
The strategic partnership between Evotec and Charité aims at achieving a better disease understanding of AAV by creating a unique longitudinal PanOmics database from the analysis of patient material. Biospecimens from AAV patients will be collected by Charité and analysed on Evotec’s PanOmics platform, which includes genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics as well as single-cell sequencing technologies. Together with supplementary pseudonymised patient data, these PanOmics data will feed into Evotec’s proprietary translational molecular patient data platform E.MPD, which serves as the central data repository for molecular patient data.
