"As has been its practice since 2019, Merck has awarded contracts to Physiomics in November or December to cover the first two to three quarters of the following calendar year and then extended these or awarded new contracts during the course of the year," the AIM-listed firm.
"The contract announced today represents the first such extension and others will be announced as and when they are agreed."
