By Helena Smolak

 

Evotek entered a tech partnership with Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk to develop stem cell-based therapies.

The German biotech said Thursday that the Danish drug company, which makes weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, will fund Evotec's research and development efforts through an undisclosed upfront payment and potential further milestone and royalty payments.

Novo Nordisk might obtain exclusive rights to the results of the deal.
