Oncology Research
Opportunities for effective drug discovery in oncology have never been better. Blueprints of the genetic and biochemical workings of cancer cells allow scientists in our laboratories to focus on promising targets for potential new therapeutic approaches. The impact of modern cancer genetics and immunotherapy on drug discovery is already changing the practice of medicine in oncology, with both biopharmaceuticals and small-molecules contributing to a growing repertoire of therapies.
Our fully integrated drug discovery centre in Vienna, Austria has more than 250 scientists with extensive capabilities in both small molecule and biotherapeutic discovery. A large number of collaborations with both academic partners and biotechnology companies are supporting our search for novel targets, biomarkers, drug candidates and treatment modalities.
