Genmab’s 25th Anniversary

From Where We Started to Where We are Going​

February 25 marks Genmab’s 25th anniversary.

Over the past quarter-century, Genmab has emerged as a scientific leader in antibody research, working towards the goal of pioneering and revolutionizing the way we treat cancer and other serious diseases.

Since our founding in 1999, innovative science has been our core, as we strive to create medicines that have never been made before for patients with limited treatment options facing cancer and other serious diseases.

Today, our innovations power eight approved antibody-based medicines and our workforce has grown from 10 to 2,100+ people internationally.​

Staying true to our history, patients continue to guide every decision we make. Each and every one of us, regardless of where we sit in the organization is driven by our core purposes – that our unstoppable team will improve the lives of patients through innovative and differentiated antibody therapeutics.​

Today, we are proud to be building on this legacy, as we evolve into a fully integrated biotech innovation powerhouse.
