Research
For 125 years, research and development (R&D) has been the foundation of Boehringer Ingelheim's success and continues to be the major driver of innovative new medicines that help improve patients' lives and address unmet therapeutic needs. Our privately-held status affords us the opportunity to think long-term about our health care and pharmaceutical R&D commitments in a way that is best suited to meet the unique challenges and long cycles of drug discovery and development.
