Behind each of our medicines and vaccines is a team of researchers who are leaders in their fields. People whose unwavering enthusiasm for finding new ways to prevent and treat disease is matched only by their unrelenting commitment to scientific excellence and patient safety.
It costs about £550 million and takes up to 10-12 years, to bring one medicine from discovery in a laboratory to the patient. The pharmaceutical industry invests around £10 million a day in research and development, and carries out nearly a quarter of the global industrial research and development in the UK.
We are entering an exciting period with a strong product pipeline that targets a broad range of diseases. And we're looking ahead to the next generation of healthcare by using new techniques and technologies.
We focus our research on several key therapeutic areas, including:
From preclinical development to Phase III clinical trials, our passion for advancing health through science is evident in the breadth and depth of our pipeline.
