Horizon Discovery HY2020 Results – published 17 August 2020
We are leveraging our technological expertise to provide cell engineering tools and services to our customers in three key areas of the therapeutics ecosystem:
-
Basic researchThe demand for life science tools designed to understand drug-gene interactions and the genetic basis of disease.
-
Drug discovery and developmentThe need to improve the efficiency and efficacy of drug development by factoring in genetic components to drug development workflows, allowing better choice of targets through a more accurate choice of clinical trial cohort and improved probability of success of a clinical trial and eventual product approval.
-
Therapeutic applicationsThe demand for tools to enable production of new therapeutics or better therapeutic approaches, including precision medicines such as cell and gene therapies, and immuno-oncology.
