Hyderabad will host Amgen’s new Science and Innovation Centre at Genome Valley, with the facility scheduled to become operational in 2027. The centre will focus on discovery chemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, precision medicine, and the integration of experimental science with data technology. The project is expected to create employment opportunities for around 200 highly skilled professionals. Amgen had earlier established its Global Capability Centre in Hyderabad in February 2025. Genome Valley is India’s first systematically developed life sciences research and development cluster and has become an important hub for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.
