ChemDiv to provide Merck KGaA with discovery chemistry in multiyear agreement, extending ongoing collaboration

19-Feb-2007

ChemDiv, Inc. announced that Merck KGaA has renewed and expanded on an agreement with ChemDiv as its preferred provider of discovery libraries of lead-like small molecules through 2009. The new agreement expands the collaboration that has been going on for the last three years, and roughly doubles the FTE effort at ChemDiv's Chemical Diversity Research Institute in Moscow.

Under the terms of the agreement, a steering committee with representatives from Merck KGaA and ChemDiv will determine projects to be produced by ChemDiv for early stage discovery at Merck. Promising hits will then be further optimized and placed into Merck's discovery pipeline. Financial terms were not disclosed.
