Immunology

We are committed to transforming therapies for diseases affecting joints, muscles and ligaments. With high medical needs still present in this area, there’s more to be done to deliver solutions for patients. 

Rheumatic Disease Focus

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

• This chronic, autoimmune and inflammatory disease can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of joint function.

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

• PsA is a chronic disease that can cause inflammation in the joints, tendons and/or ligaments.
  

Spondylarthritis (SpA)

• SpA comprises arthritic conditions that affect the spine and joints, including ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondylarthritis.
  

Axial Spondylarthritis (axSpA)

• A chronic, inflammatory condition, axSpA consists of two subsets that have been clinically defined as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondylarthritis (nr-axSpA). AS is an inflammatory disease that causes bones in the spine to fuse over time. Nr-axSpA is a chronic inflammatory disease, causing inflammation of tissues within the spine and resulting in swelling, stiffness, and pain.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

• The most common type of lupus, especially among women, this immune-mediated disease is associated with inflammation of multiple organ systems.

Polyarticular Course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (pcJIA)

• Considered as a whole group, JIA is the most common rheumatologic condition of childhood and consists of subtypes including oligoarticular, polyarticular, and systemic onset. pcJIA includes a blend of patients with a wide spectrum of etiologic risk factors, unique disease course, and therapeutic challenges.

Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA)

•  GCA, or temporal arteritis, is an inflammatory disease which commonly affects the large blood vessels of the head and neck.

We strive to uncover new answers and improve the standards of care for people facing immune-mediated skin diseases, especially those that can be challenging to diagnose and treat.  

Dermatology Focus

Psoriasis (PsO)

• This chronic disease of the immune system triggers skin inflammation and causes skin cells to be produced faster than normal, forming the thick, red, itchy, flaky patches known as plaques.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD)

• A chronic, inflammatory disease, AD is characterised by intense itching, oozing and crusting, redness, skin erosion, and dry skin.

Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

• A type of inflammatory arthritis that triggers joint pain, stiffness and swelling. About 30 percent of people with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis.

Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS)

• A chronic, inflammatory disease which causes skin abscesses and scarring on the skin HS.

Alopecia

•  Alopecia is a disease that happens when the immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss.

We continue to explore new frontiers in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Through innovative research and development, we aim to create an even brighter future for people with other disorders, including those of the stomach and intestines. 

Gastroenterology Focus

Crohn's

• A chronic, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's is characterised by inflammation of any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms vary from person to person and often fluctuate between active flare-ups and remission.

Ulcerative Colitis (UC)

• Characterised by inflammation of the large intestine, UC is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease.
