Scientific excellence and innovation creates change and delivers the breakthrough ideas of the future. Our research and development teams pioneer new methods, treatments and technologies, both internally and with external partners, in six main research areas:
Our Medicine & Regulatory Affairs Division is home to natural scientists of all disciplines: physicians, mathematicians, statistical programmers and medical documentation experts. People working in the Medicine Division investigate new drugs before their market launch, especially their impact on healthy humans and whether they have the desired effect on patients, ensuring quality, safety and authorization. Meanwhile, our Regulatory Affairs people make sure that our products meet the legal requirements in local markets.
The Epidemiology division studies the effects of our medicines. They aim to understand who our patients are and how they react when using our products. This division uses a much larger data source than clinical research; their information comes from real populations, not strictly controlled clinical laboratories. Safety is their main concern; they aim to provide the safest and most effective pharmaceutical products today and in the future.
