Advance tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

  • Anti-Infectives

    Infectious diseases continue to be one of the biggest public health concerns around the world. Since our pioneering work on penicillin in the 1940s, we have a strong history of addressing this evolving risk.

  • Inflammation and Immunology

    Many patients with chronic inflammatory diseases have access to therapies that only relieve their symptoms. We believe we can address the root cause of these debilitating diseases by treating it at the molecular level.

  • Internal Medicine

    Cardiovascular (heart) and metabolic diseases are the number one cause of death worldwide. We’re committed to addressing these global health challenges by developing potential therapies to treat or prevent disease progression and improve the quality of life for patients.

     

  • Vaccines

    The best time to stop a virus or bacterium is before it can infect someone. Vaccines can give your body way to identify an infecting agent, and instructions on how to defeat it—and potentially, avoid infecting others.

Powered by people.

We promote inclusion and support individual and team growth through programs dedicated to fostering and retaining diverse talent, such as our Refugee Leadership Initiative, Breakthrough Fellowship Program, and entry-level rotational program.

Our initiatives elevate our equitable and inclusive workforce.
