WEBWIRE



Leipzig (Germany), March 13, 2006

NIMBUS Biotechnology announces at the 10th DRUG DISCOVERY TECHNOLOGY Europe 2006 in London, the establishment of a new partnership with NoAb BioDiscoveries in Europe. NIMBUS Biotechnology will offer the established Drug Discovery services of NoAb BioDiscoveries in Europe in addition to their fast and reliable NIMBUS Screening services.
The alliance will encompass the co-promotion of the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic capabilities of NoAb BioDiscoveries together with the TRANSIL® based assays offered by NIMBUS.

During the meeting, NIMBUS Biotechnology will present at booth #1714 the new wide range of in vitro ADMET assays (e.g., cell permeability assays, metabolic stability, Cytochrome P450 inhibition, and cytotoxicity studies), as well as standard and specialized in vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats and mice.

Wolfgang Lerch, CEO of NIMBUS Biotechnology, stated today, “NIMBUS Biotechnology is closing an important gap. “Just married: in vitro and in silico“ – will be still our slogan for NIMBUS Screening. Now we have a strong and reliable partner for the future support of our customers by providing a full range of compound profiling and a maximum of information for selection decisions at all stages of drug discovery.”

“NoAb BioDiscoveries is committed to providing the highest quality drug discovery services”, commented Mr. Dan Lichtman, CEO of NoAb BioDiscoveries. “We have established a strong reputation in North America, and look forward to future collaborations in Europe”.
