UCB launches online challenge to find next generation of breakthrough medicines UCB launches online challenge to find next generation of breakthrough medicines

UCB has announced the global launch of its ‘Innovation Challenge’, reinforcing its role as a pioneering science-skills leader. This new online challenge seeks to find rare phenotypes - for example, people who are somehow protected from disease or possess exceptional tissue regeneration. By better understanding the molecular basis of a rare phenotype, UCB scientists hope to be able to develop new medicines for the treatment of severe diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis.
