At GSK, we are poised to transform drug discovery by taking a deeper look into the genetic clues behind disease, aided by large-scale genetic resources, the latest technology and advanced data science skills.

Our new approach to R&D has at its core science related to cancer and to the immune system, and will leverage Human Genetics, Functional Genomics and advanced analytics to improve the
probability of successfully developing new medicines.

We are using human genetics to generate new insights, and selecting targets that have a high degree of validation based on human genetics. To identify the next generation of first-in-class targets, we will leverage our exciting collaborations with 23andMe, FinnGen, UK Biobank, Open Targets and The Altius Institute, amongst others. This shift to a genetics driven portfolio in a disease agnostic manner will result in a portfolio of robust lead candidate molecules with a higher probability of success.
