Professional partnerships with others in industry, academia and government are a fundamental part of the way we conduct our business. We seek organisations engaging in breakthrough work to create new medicines, and we approach our collaborations with creativity and flexibility. We view partnership as an active alliance.
To these collaborations we bring an extensive history of successful partnership and the focused effort of an organisation committed to the highest quality science. Our collaborative research programs are driven by scientific curiosity and are characterised by shared input from each party.
We are committed to partnering with academic institutions. We have developed more than 800 early discovery research collaborations with colleges and universities around the globe, and we fund research for hundreds of masters-level, doctoral and fellowship students each year.
