Biopharmaceuticals

Biologics have revolutionized the treatment and prevention of many disabling and life-threatening diseases. However, biologics are driving the rising cost of healthcare, and this may restrict access to life-saving treatment.

A biosimilar is an approved biological product with quality, safety and efficacy similar to those of an approved reference product. We invest in research and development to improve the lives of patients and liberate healthcare resources through increased access to high-quality, affordable biologics.

We are the pioneer and global leader in biosimilars with over a decade of experience.
