COPD

10

AZ has a strong and continuing presence in front line COPD care based on bronchodilator/anti-inflammatory therapy

What’s next?

Hallmarks of COPDCOPD is mixed disease with both airway obstructions and loss of functional lung

Breathlessness in COPD is more than airflow obstruction

Page 11: AstraZeneca, Lund, May 7 2014

Our current focus in CVMD

• Cardiovascular and Metabolic diseases (CVMD) Diabetic Nephropathy Cardiac Regeneration Islet Health and Metabolism

Page 12: AstraZeneca, Lund, May 7 2014

Cardiac Regeneration

Diabetic Nephropathy

Islet Cell Health (Diabetes)

Page 13: AstraZeneca, Lund, May 7 2014

Cardiac Regeneration

Goal To identify and develop small or large molecules that enhance endogenous regenerative capacity of the heart for the treatment of post-MI cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. VisionTo launch a new therapy which will offer an entirely new treatment paradigm for patients who are dying of heart failure today.

Induction of proliferation of existing cardiomyocytes

Direct reprogramming of cardiac fibroblasts into cardiomyocytes or cardiac progenitors

Activation of resident cardiac progenitor cells in the heart: Epicardial progenitor cells (EPDC) or cardiac stem cells (CSC)

Partnering, collaborations and open innovation remain key to pushing the boundaries of science

Page 16: AstraZeneca, Lund, May 7 2014

We are driving science through collaborations…

…more than 90 partnerships in the last three years

Page 17: AstraZeneca, Lund, May 7 2014

To deliver the next generation of medicines we must continue to find ways to combine our science with the best science that’s happening elsewhere

Challenging ourselves to find new ways to break through the barriers and work more openly with scientists in other organisations who share our passion for patients and who can bring different perspectives to innovative research

AstraZeneca Post-Doc ProgrammeInvesting in innovative science

The next generation of scientific mindsAstraZeneca Post-Doc Programme gives post-doctoral scientists the chanceto undertake high-quality, innovative research in a cross-discipline scientificenvironment within the pharmaceutical industry.

AstraZeneca post-doctoral scientists:• Conduct independent, cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art facilities• Collaborate with AstraZeneca scientists in discovery and drug development teams• Work alongside a world-leading academic advisor• Publish their work in high-quality scientific journals and communicate research findings at international scientific conferences.

Each scientist receives a tailored training and development programme, aligned with the established AstraZeneca approach to personal development. This includes core training on drug discovery and development, as well as on key skills, such as presentation delivery and publication writing.
