We believe great partnerships create great possibilities
We strategically prioritise sourcing innovation externally, recognising that some of the most transformative science emerges from biotech and academic institutions. At the same time, we leverage our internal scientific engine to accelerate and amplify these breakthroughs.
We focus with intent on select indications and therapeutic areas where our passion for innovation, commitment to meaningful clinical impact, and drive to set new standards can deliver tangible benefits for patients. This distinctive approach has earned the trust of leading talents from pharma, biotech, and academia, who join us to shape the future through bold, collaborative science.

External innovation is at the heart of our strategy.
