Since its founding in 1981, Genzyme has dedicated itself to discovering
and developing innovative products and services to improve the lives
of patients with debilitating diseases. This commitment has driven
Genzyme to establish many new models in treatment and testing, and
has brought hope to thousands of people affected by devastating
and, in many cases, previously untreatable illnesses.
Over the years, Genzyme-sponsored research and development has led
to the introduction of new treatments for many serious health problems
including rare and debilitating genetic diseases, renal disease,
and orthopaedic injuries.
From state-of-the-art technologies to innovative therapies
Genzyme's international team of over 400 scientists is continually
working to identify new opportunities to meet the health care challenges
of the future. Genzyme is committed to investing in their work,
and in 2001, dedicated approximately $188 million - or 19 percent
of total revenues - to internal research and development.
Building on over twenty years of leadership in biomedical research,
Genzyme is leveraging the power of today's innovative technologies
to refine its expertise in a broad range of scientific platforms.
The company's areas of expertise include surgical biomaterials,
cell and protein therapeutics, diagnostic products and services,
small molecule/drug discovery, genetics and genomics and therapeutic
polymers.
In addition to the research taking place in Genzyme's own laboratories,
the company also supports vital research conducted by leading academic
and independent medical science centers, and works collaboratively
with its development partners to bring innovative therapies to market.
Across the organization, Genzyme is committed to creating, recognizing,
and acting on scientific breakthroughs to develop the next generation
of life-saving and life-enhancing medical products.
