to work for by Science magazine in its annual Top Employers
Survey of the global biotech and pharmaceutical industry.
Regeneron has placed either first or second for the past ten years,

Regeneron placed first based on more than 7,650 responses from
people across the industry and stood out with particularly high
marks on measures of innovation, being socially responsible and
loyal employees.
"We are honored that out of a universe of hundreds of

this emerging disease is the direct result of more than 30 years of

Regeneron. Their efforts have already improved the lives of
patients with serious eye diseases, cancer, asthma, atopic
dermatitis, Ebola and heart disease – and I am confident their
greatest innovations lie ahead."
