Pipeline innovation for patients
We follow the science to unexpected breakthroughs and diverse areas of study, including understudied diseases. Our pipeline is composed of primarily homegrown therapeutics, powered by our proprietary VelociSuite® technologies and informed by discoveries made in our Regeneron Genetics Center®, one of the largest genetics sequencing efforts in the world.
Inclusive science
We continue to harness the diversity of our team to ensure we come up with the best ideas, bring underrepresented voices into our labs and create meaningful collaborations. Throughout the R&D process, we work to facilitate access to our clinical studies and strive for representation that reflects diverse patient populations.

Responsible pricing and access
We focus on removing barriers to access to healthcare so people can live their healthiest lives. This includes pricing our medicines with fairness and affordability in mind.
Patient support programs
We help make our products more accessible through our patient support programs. We also provide patient assistance programs designed to provide education and to increase access through insurance eligibility support, patient resources, financial assistance and access to free medicine.
Access to investigational medicines
Before a new medicine is widely available to the public, it undergoes rigorous clinical testing to ensure it meets the safety and efficacy criteria required for regulatory approval. Our Compassionate Use Policy gives certain U.S.-based patients who have serious or life-threatening conditions access to a potentially beneficial medicine when no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy options or clinical trials are available.
Patient assistance foundations
We donate to independent third-party charitable foundations, known as patient assistance foundations, which provide financial assistance to patients who might not otherwise be able to afford their medications.
Patient advocacy
We are deeply committed to understanding the patient community’s challenges and unmet needs. Through our shared, patient-centric approach, we elevate patient voices, improve disease awareness and support equitable access to evidence-based care.
We proudly support a broad range of programs that offer resources to researchers, healthcare providers, patients and their advocates, as well as our local communities. To submit a request for funding, visit our grants portal.

Doing right for those living with unmet needs
Addressing occupational skin cancer risk
Millions of outdoor workers are at risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), the most common type of cancer, with rates increasing annually. Globally, we support efforts to promote existing policies and create new policies to protect outdoor workers from the risk of NMSC.
