Biogen Idec Argentina is part of a multinational company, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts which has, since its formation, gained a commercial presence in over 29 markets. Their two leading products, AVONEX and RITUXAN, have for years ranked among the top ten biotechnology products sold globally.
Biogen Idec’s presence in Argentina provides therapeutic solutions through knowledge, research and support programs for the local multiple sclerosis. A great deal of commitment is shown to this new market as investment is flowing in the form of an R&D laboratory. This new venture in Latin America, and offices in Brazil and now Argentina, allows Biogen Idec to reach patients throughout the whole region.
