The one-year collaboration will involve BioFocus DPI carrying out medicinal chemistry and supporting biology and ADME/PK services for multiple Schering-Plough drug discovery projects at two of SPRI’s European sites. The deal builds on a partnership that was established between the companies in May 2009 and expanded in September.
