An Introduction to Biotechnology

Biotechnology has brought about the discovery and development of a new generation of human therapeutics. Advancements in both cellular and molecular biology have allowed scientists to identify and develop a host of new cost-effective products. These products provide significant clinical benefits, and in many cases, provide therapies where no effective treatment existed.

Manufacturing Quality and Reliability

At Amgen, we continually invest in our manufacturing to strengthen our industry-leading capabilities and extend our global reach. Our commitment is to ensure that all our medicines are available for "every patient, every time."

Biosimilars

Biosimilars offer the potential to increase patient access to vital medicines. Amgen is well positioned to leverage its more than 35 years of experience in biotechnology to create high-quality biosimilars and reliably supply them to patients worldwide.

Amgen is a pioneer in the science of using living cells to make biologic medicines. We helped invent the processes and tools that built the global biotech industry—turning it into a leading source of therapies for patients.
