Our therapy areas
Unlocking the power of what science can do
The path to new treatments
The future of treatment for many of today’s diseases lies in uncovering mechanisms that are newly emerging or are still to be discovered. We believe the best way to help patients is to focus on breakthrough science to discover these mechanisms and develop novel, targeted therapies that interact with them. Our focus is on the following: Oncology; BioPharmaceuticals (including Cardiovascular, Renal & Metabolism, and Respiratory & Immunology); and Rare Disease.
Oncology
Our ambition is to push the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine and transform the lives of patients living with cancer.
Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism
CVRM (Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism) is one of our main therapy areas because science continues to uncover commonalities between metabolism, heart failure, arterial vascular disease and renal disease – four distinct but interrelated areas.
Respiratory & Immunology
We are entering an era of unprecedented potential to deliver scientific breakthroughs within asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic cough.
Vaccines and Immune Therapies
Our ambition is to develop and deliver transformative vaccines and antibodies, providing long-lasting immunity to millions of people, where the burden of disease is greatest.
Rare Disease
Our mission is to transform the lives of people affected by rare diseases and devastating conditions. By understanding patients’ unique needs, we can research and develop innovative medicines, support access and advocate for the rare disease community.
An exciting pipeline
Our pipeline forms a robust portfolio of investigational therapies in varied stages of clinical development.
