Introduction

Ferring’s corporate philosophy is that “People come first at Ferring”, a philosophy which is reflected in the company’s approach to research and development. Ferring is a research driven company which invests heavily in its research infrastructure both in terms of people and technology and is committed to developing products that treat unmet medical needs.

Ferring’s R&D activities are focused on four therapy areas: fertility1, urology2, gastroenterology3 and endocrinology4. Ferring is a world leader in peptide5 and peptidomimetic6 research and this forms an important part of the history of the company. In addition, in all therapy areas, Ferring pays particular attention to developing drug delivery systems that are effective and convenient for the patient.

Specifically, Ferring aims to produce new innovative drugs and to improve existing therapies by:

• Focusing on novel peptide/hormone and protease7 genes;
• Further developing peptide and peptidomimetic6 science and technology;
• Adapting existing peptide based medications to meet specific medical needs;
• Developing effective and patient friendly drug delivery systems.

As well as conducting R&D through the four Ferring research centres, Ferring also undertakes research collaboration with scientific research institutes, universities and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across the world. This cooperation takes place whenever it can help to achieve the end goal of the R&D work and will be beneficial for both parties.
