NascaCell Technologies AG signed a cooperation agreement with Bayer
CropScience
Munich, June 1, 2006 – NascaCell Technologies AG, a German biotech company,
has signed a cooperation agreement with Bayer CropScience. Focus of the
collaboration is to determine whether NascaCell’s Aptamer Technology can be
applied to crop science product development.
‘Aptamers are very selective, high affinity ligands and hence, particularly
well suited for the validation of crop science targets“, stated Dr.
Hans-Jörg Reif, Discovery-Technology & Cooperations, Bayer CropScience.
‘We are very pleased and look forward to collaborating with the Bayer
CropScience research team. We are convinced that the tailor-made aptamers
generated for this collaboration will meet the expectations of our
collaboration partners. This project is an important milestone for our
company, since it demonstrates that our aptamer technology has great
potential in markets outside biomedical and pharmaceutical research such as
in agrobiotechnology”, said Dr. Michael Blind, Chief Scientific Officer of
NascaCell Technologies AG.
