Immunology
By exploring new frontiers in science and technology, we strive to accelerate innovation of transformational medicines that deliver more years of life and quality of life for patients and families living with immune-mediated conditions. On January 8, 2025, we announced our intention to separate into two publicly traded entities, with Galapagos to focus solely on advancing its leadership in cell therapy. As a result of this planned strategic focus, we are currently seeking partners to take over our small molecule portfolio in immunology.
Cell therapy
Cell therapy aims to treat diseases by restoring or altering certain sets of cells or by using cells to carry a therapy through the body. With cell therapy, cells are cultivated or modified outside the body before being injected into the patient. The cells may originate from the patient (autologous cells) or a donor (allogeneic cells)
Immunology
The study of the immune system and is a very important branch of the medical and biological sciences. The immune system protects humans from infection through various lines of defence. If the immune system is not functioning as it should, it can result in disease, such as autoimmunity, allergy, and cancer
