AZ and Regeneron Collaborate on Obesity Treatment Development
Here is a brief preview of this blast: AstraZeneca and Regeneron announced a collaboration for the research, development, and commercialization of small molecule compounds against the GPR75 gene to treat obesity and related comorbidities. For context, genetic mutations in GPR75 have been linked to patients having a lower BMI and experiencing a 54% lower risk of obesity than those without the mutation. According to the press release, AZ and Regeneron will evenly split the research and development costs as well as any future profits.
