Description:
Client is the founder of the biotechnology industry and has been delivering on the promise of biotechnology for more than 43 years.

For client, the patient is at the heart of all R&D efforts, and delivering life-changing therapies to patients while also driving positive change in the global society is the impetus to everything we do.
A healthier future. It’s what drives us to innovate. To continuously advance science and ensure everyone has access to the healthcare they need today and for generations to come. Creating a world where we all have more time with the people we love.
