medical affairs manager, ba metabolic disease
alexion is a global biopharmaceutical company that combines groundbreaking science with a steadfast commitment to meeting the needs of patients living with severe, life-threatening and often ultra-rare diseases. Alexion scientists are among the first in the world to unlock the therapeutic potential of inhibiting terminal complement, a group of proteins that play an important role in the body’s immune response and can destroy healthy tissue in certain patients. Alexion discovered and developed soliris® (eculizumab), a first-in-class terminal complement inhibitor. Today, soliris is approved in more than 40 countries as a treatment for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (pnh), and in the united states and european union as a treatment for patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (ahus). Alexion is working urgently to investigate soliris and additional product candidates as treatments for patients with other rare and severe diseases.
