Ophthalmology

We are focusing on saving people’s eyesight from the leading causes of vision loss through pioneering therapies and cutting- edge research. Vision loss affects 253 million people worldwide, presenting a major global health problem and diseases of the retina are among the main causes of visual impairment globally.

We have the broadest late stage retina pipeline including treatments for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Our robust early stage pipeline also includes novel therapeutic modalities such as gene therapies, cell-based therapies and potential treatments for geographic atrophy (GA).

Our experienced team of ophthalmologists, scientists and researchers are working to develop innovative solutions that have the potential to preserve and restore vision.

Partnering opportunities we are looking for:

  • Retinal diseases and long-acting ocular drug delivery solutions

  • Glaucoma and dry eye disease
