Whether it is discovering a therapy that could work for an individual patient faster or finding new ways to treat the root cause of a disease, at UCB, we are committed to continuing to unlock the science to improve the lives of patients.

At UCB, we strive to discover and deliver new solutions patients value. Whether it’s through leveraging big data, thinking outside the box to overcome barriers, or collaborating with others in the healthcare industry—initiatives across UCB are at the forefront of research, and recently, our experts have been in the news talking about what we’re working on.

An estimated 3.3 million individuals in the U.S. are living with spondyloarthritis^1,2 (SpA), an inflammatory disease affecting the spine, and in some people, the joints of the arms and legs, skin, intestines, and eyes. An underdiagnosed condition, most people with SpA first experience symptoms in their 20s or 30s but typically wait as many as 10 years between symptom onset and SpA diagnosis. * 

August is Psoriasis Awareness Month so we’re shining a spotlight on the disease and how UCB is working to deliver solutions that patients value. 

At UCB, we strive to support patients to live their best lives possible, and we know getting time away from home for summer vacation or other travel needs is part of life. Whether you live with a chronic illness, are a caregiver for someone who lives with a chronic illness, or not - traveling can be stressful. However, for many people living with a chronic illness, special considerations are needed during travel, and it can be particularly challenging when you must travel with medicines. Fortunately, with a little planning, you can decrease the hassle, reduce your stress, and enjoy your trip.
