Respiratory Science, Translating to Impactful Care

Our Commitment

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.

Discover more about our leading approach to address the underlying drivers of respiratory diseases, and our work to improve the lives of millions of people across the globe.

Our Focus Areas

We are focused on chronic respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as immune-driven diseases such as lupus. We follow the science to address tough and complex, unsolved problems - targeting the underlying biology and developing effective new drug modalities and combinations with the ultimate ambition of achieving disease modification and clinical remission.

Our scientific strategy focuses on two approaches that target common disease drivers of immune dysfunction in and beyond the lung: investing in a portfolio of next-generation therapeutics that suppress inflammation and tissue damage at the pathway level, and rebalancing and resetting immune cell function through transformational therapies like T-Cell engagers and cell therapy.
