**About AstraZeneca**

AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of prescription medicines for some of the world’s most serious diseases. But we’re more than one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies. It’s our patients that come first, every decision we make and action we take is centred around how we can better serve them. It’s why we are shaping patient care for the future, working along the whole experience to give hope to billions of lives across the world.

**Business Area**

Respiratory & Immunology is one of AstraZeneca’s three therapy areas and is a key growth driver for the Company. Building on our 50-year heritage, we are an established leader in respiratory care across inhaled and biologic medicines. AstraZeneca aims to transform the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)by eliminating preventable asthma attacks across all severities and removing COPD as a leading cause of death through earlier, biology-led treatment. With common pathways and underlying disease drivers across respiratory and immunology, we are following the science from chronic lung diseases to immune-driven diseases. Our growing presence in immunology is focused on five mid-to late-stage franchises with multi-disease potential in rheumatology (including systemic lupus erythematosus), dermatology, gastroenterology and systemic eosinophilic-driven diseases. Our ambition in immunology is to achieve disease control and ultimately clinical remission in targeted immune-driven diseases. At AstraZeneca, we aim to be the leader in respiratory biologics and are currently working to develop treatment solutions which will address the different drivers of asthma including eosinophilic and epithelial-driven disease. In COPD we are committed to transforming outcomes by driving earlier, biology-led treatment and removing COPD as the third leading cause of death.
