Mission Our mission is to transform the lives of people living with rare and devastating diseases through the development and delivery of innovative medicines, as well as through supportive technologies and healthcare services.
By continuing to deepen our understanding of rare disease, which began with our pioneering work in complement biology, we are able to innovate and evolve into new areas where there is great unmet need and opportunity to help patients and families fully live their best lives.
Description People living with rare and devastating diseases are our Guiding Star. We believe it is our responsibility to listen to, understand, and change the lives of patients and those who work tirelessly to help them.
Our culture is rooted in integrity, inclusiveness, and our dedication to joining and supporting the communities in which we live and work. We invest in and value people who believe in the importance of our purpose and understand what it takes to deliver on it. Alexion has over 3,000 talented colleagues dedicated to serving people living with rare diseases in more than 50 countries around the world. Our global headquarters are based in Boston, Massachusetts and our EMEA headquarters are in Zürich, Switzerland.
