Neurology

We are determined to help people living with neurological disorders through the development of innovative solutions and potential new treatments. We currently have approved therapies for patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, and our scientists are deploying an array of technologies to develop new potential treatments that may help address the underlying cause of disease. Additionally, Neurology is an area of continued focus on innovation with research in key areas including Myasthenia gravis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, and other neurological diseases.

Our commitment to neurology

We’re taking on the complex challenges of neurological diseases, advancing scientific understanding and developing treatments to address long-unmet needs.

Since 2012, we’ve been working to improve the lives of people with serious neuro-degenerative diseases. Our pipeline medicines aim to address MS, ALS, Parkinson’s disease (PD), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy.

Our neurology focus

Our neurology programs are built on a strong foundation of long-term partnerships with patients, physicians, advocates and researchers. Our goal is to slow or even halt neurodegeneration in MS, ALS, PD, and other neurological diseases.
