The Group devotes close to 70% of its R&D budget to this field, with the ambition of becoming a focused and innovative player in the development of treatments targeting rare cancers. Neurology will constitute a future growth driver. Servier is focusing on a limited number of diseases in this area where accurate patient profiling makes it possible to offer a targeted therapeutic response through precision medicine.
