MedImmune Executive Team

MedImmune has a powerful operating model—operationally independent yet strategically aligned with AstraZeneca, our parent company. This provides us new proprietary product development opportunities in areas such as cardiovascular and metabolic disease, pain and central nervous system disorders, and gastrointestinal disease.

Overseeing global operations at MedImmune is a highly respected team of industry leaders. Our robust portfolio of research projects and clinical product candidates now incorporates the biologics assets of AstraZeneca and those of Cambridge Antibody Technology.
