About R&D

Our scientists are working hard to discover new ways of treating illness and disease. In addition to their wide-ranging talents, we use the resources of a company devoted to the application of science to improve the quality of life.

It takes about 12-15 years and costs over £500 million to discover and develop a new medicine, so we need to be determined and innovative to develop our molecules into medicines as fast as possible.

Using the most modern technology, we can maintain a healthy product pipeline which ensures a flow of new products to people around the world.

We are one of the largest collaborators in industry and work with academic institutions, governments, and other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. We believe that the strength of our combined efforts will help people live healthier and happier lives.
