We welcome our new ASI Sustaining Member: AbbVie

AbbVie is proud to be named as a Sustaining Member of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology (ASI). As a company that aims to make a remarkable impact on the lives of patients, advancing the science and education of immunology is a shared goal.

We are highly committed to developing and maintaining partnerships that ultimately benefit patients and fuel scientific progress. To create innovative solutions that go beyond treating the illness to have a positive impact on people’s lives, society – and science itself.

Science and innovation are the cornerstones of our business. Since 2013, AbbVie has invested over $50 billion in R&D along the research continuum of discovery, genomics, translational, precision medicine and clinical research. In Australia and New Zealand alone, AbbVie invests $31 million annually in clinical research funding. Over 2000 patients are participating in AbbVie funded trials, with 64 Phase III trials currently active of which 29 are in immunology.

At AbbVie we see a future of possibilities and we are investing accordingly. An additional 80 plus trials will commence in the next 2 years across Australia and New Zealand - 20 will be in immunology.

It’s the combination of great people and strong partnerships that enable us to build on the best ideas, wherever they originate. We look forward to our continued partnership with the ASI.
