When considering candidates, we look for scientific and business professionals who are highly motivated, collaborative, and most importantly, share our passionate interest in fighting cancer.
BeiGene is a global biotechnology company committed to developing new cancer medicines that are more accessible and affordable to far more patients around the world.
In the EU, 2.7 million people will be diagnosed with cancer every year and the number is growing. Greater scientific understanding of cancer has led to the discovery of many new medicines that have improved the health of people who have access to these new treatments.
Cancer remains a global health threat and a leading cause of poor health and death. However, innovative treatments are not accessible to the majority of patients around the world, creating inequalities in the health prospects of those diagnosed with cancer, even within Europe.
