At MedImmune, we support public policies that foster patient access to biotech medicines, advance an environment of innovation and improve public health.

As the global biologics unit for AstraZeneca, MedImmune focuses specifically on public policy issues that impact large-molecule, biologic therapies and vaccines. MedImmune also aligns its positions with and helps develop AstraZeneca positions that span the broader biopharmaceutical environment.

We strive to make our relevant positions clear and transparent, facilitate an atmosphere of constructive dialogue on key issues with many involved stakeholders, and achieve our business objectives responsibly. Please click on the links below to learn more about our views and policy positions.
