We push the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines
At AstraZeneca Oncology R&D, we are pushing the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine and transform the lives of patients living with cancer, with the aim of eliminating cancer as a cause of death. We have one of the broadest and deepest oncology pipelines in the industry, based on six scientific platforms: Immuno-Oncology, DNA Damage Response, Antibody Drug Conjugates, Tumour Drivers and Resistance Mechanisms, Cell Therapies, and Epigenetics.
Our approach to eliminating cancer is to identify and treat patients earlier in the progress of their disease when there is potential for cure, and to improve the treatment of relapsed or refractory patients by addressing emerging resistant populations, particularly in later stages of disease. With a focus on monotherapy and combinations, biomarker-driven innovative clinical trials and digital technologies, we are confident that cures for cancer are within our grasp.
Here, we’ve created a diverse ecosystem of the best scientific minds inside and out - working across AstraZeneca Research & Development, in academia, with biotechs, and in collaboration with industry.
