Shares of Exscientia rose sharply in premarket trading Wednesday
after the precision-medicine company formed an
artificial-intelligence collaboration potentially worth hundreds of
millions of dollars with German science and technology company
Merck KGaA.
As part of the multi-year agreement, Exscientia said it will
receive a $20 million upfront payment from Merck and will be
eligible for up to $674 million in milestone payments, along with
royalties on product sales.
Exscientia said the companies will use its AI-driven precision
drug design and discovery capabilities to discover novel
small-molecule drug candidates across oncology, neuroinflammation
and immunology.
Exscientia shares, which closed Tuesday at $5.06, were recently
up 21% to $6.14 in premarket trading.
