Addressing Unmet
Medical Needs

A Pipeline of Possibilities

To us, the impossible is simply what hasn’t been achieved yet. Gilead’s research and development program is focused on what’s next, integrating internal and external research to build a robust pipeline.

Taking It to the Next Level

Through the years, Gilead’s research programs have helped propel science forward. Now, with the creation of our External Innovation Center, we’re working more closely with partners to bring the best learnings to our teams as we aim to bring 10+ new transformative therapies to patients in the next 10 years. In 2019, we established more than 17 strategic partnerships and licensing deals to keep the momentum going.
