Our Areas of Partnering Interest

Together with our partners we aim to lead in the areas where we can deliver the greatest VALUE. Our current areas of partnering interest include oncology, rare diseases, immuno-sciences and emerging areas of drug discovery and development from bench to patient, including evolving cell and gene based therapeutic approaches.

 

We also aim to contribute and provide VALUE to patients in various ways, not limited to treatment with drugs but across the whole patient journey, including overall medical care, education, and precision medicine approaches that integrate diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic care. We refer to this non-pharma activity as our Rx+® businesses.
