We’re helping. Amersham Health is focusing on diseases that
affect older people, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, stroke, heart
disease and cancer. Our medical diagnostic products help
reduce healthcare costs through early and accurate diagnosis.
Amersham Biosciences is helping researchers and drug companies understand
disease, accelerate the discovery of new therapies and reduce the
cost of development.
Much of our work is based on a novel proposition: The most
cost-effective (and least stressful) time to treat a disease is
before the symptoms are significant or obvious. A fanciful idea?
Not necessarily. At Amersham we’re helping to shift the whole
basis of medicine from ‘diagnosis and treatment’ to ‘prediction
and prevention'.
