Scientific discovery
We live in a time of incredible scientific discovery. Scientists can sequence entire human genomes in hours. They can turn skin cells into heart cells. Pharmaceutical company Genentech is working to turn such breakthroughs into medicines that have a real impact on human health.
Genentech is one of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies, with more than 40 drugs on the market. The company’s operations span the entire drug development pipeline, from discovery and validation to clinical trials. Newcastle University’s (Flow) Cytometry Facility provides it with innovative, cutting-edge cytometry to support the assessment of new drugs.
