Each contract covers an initial fixed term of one year with an option to extend. The details of each contract are outlined below:
Discovery Services Agreement Within this Discovery Services Agreement, EVOTEC OAI will provide a team of dedicated Full Time Equivalent (FTE) chemists to work exclusively on the design and synthesis of compounds for lead generation, validation as well as lead optimisation for key drug candidates to be included in Lilly’s discovery pipeline.
