this is our textbook

this is our reference library

this is our lecture hall

this is our research lab

the knowledge that will help us better

understand some of the world's most

harmful diseases is filed away in our

biology

it's written in our dna

[Applause]

at amgen we are both students and

teachers of human biology

before we attack a disease our

researchers study it closely

to understand its mechanisms

[Music]

to watch the body's most subtle changes

inside and out

we are scholars in vigilant pursuit of

the vital information that may transform

lives

over decades amgen has developed a deep

expertise in biotechnology mastering the

complex art and science of engineering

new medicines through the use of living

cells

and now with unprecedented genetic

information available on a large scale

and more sophisticated analytic tools

we're connecting the dots between dna

and disease

allowing us to approach the development

of promising new medicines with greater

understanding we're working to turn the

tide on cancer and cardiovascular

disease the leading causes of death in

the world today we're seeking to help

more people suffering from crippling

rheumatoid arthritis and we're providing

critical treatments for bone disease and

other serious illnesses

at amgen we observe we theorize we test

and if we come up short we regroup

rethink and attack the problem again

and on those days where we hit the mark

disease suffers another blow

humanity

takes another step forward

then we get back to work

searching for the answers that lie deep

within us
