Our Commitment to Advancing Respiratory
With five decades of experience, we are an established leader in respiratory care and a disruptor in immunology. We are committed to transforming care for some of the most debilitating and chronic respiratory and immune-mediated diseases. Our portfolio of inhaled and biologic medicines, and our pipeline for the future, seek to address the challenges and vast unmet medical needs patients face today. By following the science, we are focused on sustainably addressing complex unsolved problems. Our approach involves targeting the underlying biology, developing effective new drug modalities and combinations and applying a precision medicine approach from the start of discovering medicines, all while driving earlier detection, diagnosis and intervention.
Our ambition is to transform Respiratory & Immunology care for patients, moving beyond symptom control to disease modification, remission and, one day, cure.
Be a part of the team exploring the next frontier of what science can do for chronic disease.
We are pioneers – pushing the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines, transform care for billions of people living with chronic diseases and deliver long-lasting immunity. Beyond our medicines, we know there are more ways we can help patients. We help build and strengthen American healthcare and innovation ecosystems, co-create solutions that change medical practice, and translate cutting-edge science into real-world impact across the full patient experience. Guided by pioneering leaders, every step we take starts with patient need. We take smart risks, challenge convention and reinvent what’s possible.
