Open Science
A Different R&D Path that Defines the Company’s Position
The ecosystem delivering biopharmaceutical innovation has shifted. Where global pharma companies had previously discovered, developed and delivered new products from their own labs, the driving source of innovation today is coming from smaller biotechnology and pharma companies, as well as academia.
Given this shift in innovation origination, Allergan has sought to follow a different R&D path than other companies.
We embrace an Open Science model. It defines the Company’s position in this new ecosystem – as a magnet for game-changing ideas and innovation. A large percentage of our pipeline is sourced by partnering with biotech companies, academia and other pharmaceutical companies globally. Through this Open Science model, we drive strong R&D productivity by delivering innovative therapies that create long-term shared value for Allergan, for customers and for patients.
