Tell us about your company’s mission and values

Our line of business may sound complicated; however, our vision is quite simple—Turning Hope Into Reality™ for patients and families affected by rare and ultra-rare diseases where no cure or treatment currently exists. Our mission to actualize our vision is to accelerate the development and manufacturing of innovative therapies to bring more treatments to more patients.

At Andelyn’s core is a passionate team of employees helping to shape a healthier, hopeful future for patients around the globe. At our team’s core is a set of values that shape our committed culture to advancing medicine, saving lives, and supporting the communities we live and serve. Those values are Accountable in our actions, Compassionate in our thinking, Curious to discover, Trustworthy in our communication, and Supportive of one another.

AT OUR CORE WE
Action our Values. Live our Culture. See The Change.

What are the services you use the most (or are looking forward to using) from the Columbus Chamber?

We look forward to utilizing the impressive network that the Columbus Chamber of Commerce has to engage with the community and build connections for the rare disease community on pathways to seek guidance, help, and provide resources.

How do you stay engaged with trends that you see in your industry?

In our line of business, we are proud to stand apart from trends in the cell and gene therapy space. We are imparting an Optimization-By-Design™ concept as we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is not feasible when working with biologics. We also prioritize quality over business and will always champion the right way, as opposed to the easy way, despite promises to expedite or cut costs.
