Approximately 15-20% of the world’s population is neurodivergent, which recognizes alternative thinking styles such as Dyslexia, DCD (Dyspraxia), Dyscalculia, Autism, and ADHD. Our TH!NK Neurodiversity Employee Resource Group (ERG) fosters global conversations to create an inclusive and equitable environment for all. With the right tools and resources, we can support our neurodivergent community to thrive through a culture of lifelong learning and development. #WhatScienceCanDo #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek

For #Investors and #Media Today we announced an agreement to acquire EsoBiotec, a biotechnology company pioneering in vivo cell therapies. We believe EsoBiotec’s world-leading in vivo cell therapy platform has the potential to transform cell therapy, increasing the number of patients that may be able to access and benefit from these innovative treatments. Traditional cell therapies require cells be removed from a patient, genetically modified outside of the body, and then readministered to the patient as a medicine after immune cell depletion, a process that typically takes weeks. In vivo cell therapy enables administration of cell therapies in minutes, through a simple IV injection and without the need for immune cell depletion. By engineering immune cells directly within the patient’s body, the platform offers a promising approach to streamline processes, reducing complexities and manufacturing timelines, while increasing patient access. #AstraZenecaBusinessNews
