Fighting the World's Toughest Diseases

Amgen harnesses the best of biology and technology to make people's lives easier, fuller, and longer.

As an American biotechnology company serving patients around the world, continued investment in the U.S. — through public-private partnerships, venture capital support of start-ups, and our own homegrown research and development and manufacturing capabilities — is foundational to our ability to innovate and create cutting-edge science.

Pro-growth tax policies made possible by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and made permanent in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, have enabled Amgen to invest $40 billion in U.S. innovation and manufacturing since 2018.

Amgen recently announced a $600 million investment at its headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California, for a new center for science and innovation. Additional major investments include $1 billion in North Carolina, $900 million in Ohio and an additional $650 million in Puerto Rico to support increased production of biologic medicines.
