Therapies & Treatments – Helping Patients Live Better Lives
A WORD ON COVID-19 AND ANIMAL RESEARCH
We are committed to understanding health and disease and are proud of our role in developing medicines to help people and animals pursue a better quality of life. We are inspired by stories from patients whose lives are changed by these treatments. The process to research and develop a new drug is long and expensive, and requires the dedication of many scientists, doctors, technicians, animal research models and patient volunteers. See below some inspiring stories from patients, treatments that are changing lives, and a note of respect to the animals who helped bring these medicines to patients.
