Our Science
We chase the miracles of science, working across disciplines to solve problems, take smart risks, and discover the extraordinary.
We’re determined to find answers for patients, and to develop medicines and vaccines with the potential to improve people’s lives. We focus, and we push our limits. Because when we work together we can grow, take smart risks, learn from failure, and discover the extraordinary. That’s how we turn the impossible into possible. And it’s how we will help make life better for people everywhere.
Clinical Trials
Australia's medicine and science community are contributing to more than 30 Sanofi clinical trials, and we are investing more than $20 million in these pursuits each year.
Clinical trials allow researchers to determine whether a new way to prevent or treat a disease is safe and effective for human beings. This critical stage of creating a new medicine or vaccine follows many years, sometimes decades, of research. The people who participate in clinical trials give immeasurable value to the world, helping advance science and medicine toward new treatments and healthier communities.
Sanofi clinical trials are designed to treat patients, not diseases. Our teams consider the full patient environment, including their access to transportation and buildings, when designing a study. Our team also recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion in clinical trials so that all communities benefit from scientific advances.
Local investment. Local innovation.
Our Translational Science Hub in Brisbane connects Queensland’s world-class researchers with Sanofi scientists in France and the US, creating a first-of-its-kind, global scientific community focused on mRNA technology and translational science.
It is proudly supported by Sanofi, Griffith University, The University of Queensland, and the Queensland Government.
