Galapagos Intends to wind down cell therapy business

Galapagos announced its intention to wind down its cell therapy business following a strategic review. This follows a previous announcement of non-binding offers, subject to financing, where previous CEO Paul Stoffels emerged as one of the bidders for the business. This decision suggests external financing for the project has not been obtained, and we believe the decision to wind down the cell therapy business creates clarity and allows Galapagos to move forward with its new plans of building a pipeline through business development deals. € 37 TP and ACCUMULATE maintained.
