The mission of Human Genome Sciences (HGS) is to apply great science and medicine to bring innovative drugs to patients with unmet medical needs. Our commitment extends to the community where we support independent activities that advance medicine, and improve professional education, patient care and disease awareness. HGS supports high quality independent education programs for healthcare providers and patients, and clinical and non-clinical investigator-sponsored research. We also provide charitable contributions to non-profit organizations working towards similar educational and research goals in the therapeutic areas on which we focus. .
