Introduction
Amgen is ranked & honored as one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies. Founded in 1980, we have grown to be one of the world’s leading independent biotechnology companies. Amgen is a values-based company, deeply rooted in science and innovation to transform new ideas and discoveries into medicines for patients with serious illnesses. We focuse on areas of high unmet medical need and leverages its expertise to strive for solutions that improve health outcomes and dramatically improve people’s lives. At Amgen, we believe in a “biology first” approach. We use cutting-edge science and technology to study the subtlest biological mechanisms in search of therapies that will improve the lives of those who suffer from serious diseases. Amgen believes the cure for disease can be found inside each and every one of us. This approach begins by using tools like advanced human genetics to unravel the complexities of disease and understand the fundamentals of human biology.

Focus on Biology Amgen is helping to solve fundamental mysteries of biology. Our deep understanding of biological pathways has been the cornerstone of Amgen’s scientific success. Our protein engineers are designing new molecular structures, employing nature’s own building blocks to try to interdict disease and redefine what a medicine can accomplish.
WHO WE ARE With unprecedented genetic information available on a large scale, a diverse array of drug modalities and more sophisticated analytic tools, we’re connecting the dots between DNA and treating disease. We are approaching the development of promising new medicines with greater understanding, speed and confidence than ever before. Leveraging innovation at virtually every stage in the process of getting a medicine to market—from advanced understanding of human genetics to protein engineering to accomplishing large-scale clinical trials to reliably producing biologics to reaching patients on a global scale.
But the work doesn’t stop here. We recognize that innovation comes from many sources. Sometimes it comes from inside our own labs—but not always. That is why we travel the globe in search of the most promising opportunities for patients, while simultaneously advancing innovation discovered within our own walls. At Amgen, we observe, we theorize, we test. And if we come up short, we regroup, rethink and attack the problem again. On those days when we hit the mark, disease suffers another blow. Humanity takes another step forward. Then we get back to work, searching for the answers that exist all around us and deep within.

OUR HERITAGE CULTURE OF SCIENCE & INNOVATION The story of Amgen began more than three decades ago with a simple idea—that emerging research in genetics could lead to very exciting opportunities if the right scientists could be assembled and given the appropriate resources. Amgen has since grown to be the world’s largest independent biotechnology company, launching some of the biotechnology industry’s first blockbuster therapies, and subsequently changing the course of medicine. As a company, we could not have accomplished what we did were it not for our commitment to building a culture that embraces science and innovation—a culture that continues to shape who we are today.
DELIVERING FOR PATIENTS Amgen is counted among the early pioneers of biologic medicines. Our therapies have since reached millions of patients worldwide. Our scientists have characterized key biologic processes that have led to the development of innovative, first-in-class therapies. We have shaped the scientific world’s understanding of certain disease processes. We have also engineered new types of therapeutic platforms.
AMGEN FOUNDATION The Amgen Foundation seeks to advance excellence in science education to inspire the next generation of innovators, and invest in strengthening communities where Amgen staff members live and work. To date, the Foundation has donated more than $250 million in grants to local, regional and international nonprofit organizations that impact society in inspiring and innovative ways. The Amgen Foundation brings the excitement of discovery to the scientists of tomorrow through several signature programs, including Amgen Scholars, Amgen Biotech Experience, and Amgen Teach.

Innovative Medicines
World-Class Bioproduction
Transformative Research
We have a presence in approximately 100 countries and regions worldwide and our innovative medicines have reached millions of people in the fight against serious illnesses. We focus on six therapeutic areas: cardiovascular disease, oncology, bone health, neuroscience, nephrology & inflammation. Our medicines typically address diseases for which there are limited treatment options, or they are medicines that provide a viable option to what is otherwise available.
The treatment of millions of seriously ill patients worldwide depends on the safe and reliable production of biologic medicines, which are administered by injection or intravenously. A worldwide leader in biologics manufacturing, Amgen has an outstanding track record of reliably delivering high-quality remedies to patients who need them. Significant skill, experience, vigilance and commitment are critical to help ensure the quality of a biologic medicine each time a new batch is made. At Amgen, robust quality control and a reliable supply of medicines for patients are every bit as important as scientific innovation.
Understanding the fundamental biological mechanisms of disease is a defining feature of Amgen’s discovery research efforts —and a major contributor to the development of Amgen’s deep and broad pipeline of potential new medicines. Amgen’s “biology first” approach permits its scientists to first explore the complex molecular pathways of disease before determining what type of medicine, or modality, is most likely to deliver optimal efficacy and safety. With the advances in human genetics, Amgen continues to shed new light on the molecular roots of disease. Amgen subsidiary deCODE Genetics, a global leader in human genetics, is a powerful differentiator, greatly improving how we identify and validate human disease targets.
OUR MISSION “ To Serve Patients ”
At Amgen, our mission is to serve patients. Our nearly 20,000 staff members around the world have a deep commitment to this mission. We are fully aware of both the privilege and the responsibility that goes along with this important work. We come to work knowing that with every decision made, we have the ability to make significant differences in the lives of those impacted by serious illnesses.
AMGEN VALUES Be science-based Compete intensely and win Create value for patients, staff and stockholders Be ethical Trust & respect each other Ensure quality Work in teams Collaborate, communicate and be accountable
OUR ASPIRATION We aspire to be the best human therapeutics company. We will live the Amgen Values and use science and innovation to dramatically improve people’s lives.
OUR STRATEGY The strategy at Amgen is clear—to develop innovative medicines that meet important unmet medical needs. This focus guided us when we developed our first medicine nearly four decades ago for patients suffering from kidney disease. The same unwavering focus inspired us as we have launched new and innovative products, including our novel medicine for certain patients at risk for heart disease, the most significant unmet medical need facing society today. Indeed, the common denominator for products we develop in all six focused therapeutic areas— cardiovascular disease, oncology, bone health, nephrology, neuroscience and inflammation—is the innovative contribution they make to addressing serious illness.
Dawn of the Bio - Century Never before have we been in a better position to understand and combat human disease. Biotechnology has evolved rapidly in the past three decades. And yet we remain an industry in its infancy, which means we have only begun to realize the full potential of biotechnology and how it can benefit human health. Many of the past century’s breakthrough innovations were in the areas of physics and information technology. We believe we have entered an exciting new era—the Bio-Century—where there is great potential for new discoveries as we gain a deeper understanding of human biology and biotechnology. Major advances in DNA sequencing and gene therapy are leading to exciting opportunities in discovery research. We also see growing global demand for biologic medicines on the horizon due to factors ranging from greater access to healthcare to aging populations to new kinds of cancer treatments. And investments are being made based on extensive knowledge of biologics manufacturing to improve existing processes and technologies to help further optimize the outcomes we deliver to patients. Amgen is well positioned to break new ground in our industry—at the dawn of the Bio-Century—and serve more patients with our therapeutics worldwide.
