Our Team

Over the past 40 years, Sanofi has developed different therapies for the treatment of many rare diseases. Its first area of focus was Gaucher disease and in the past two decades Sanofi expanded its focus to Fabry disease, Pompe disease, Mucopolysaccharidosis I, and acid sphingomyelinase deficiency. We accomplish our goals through world-class research, collaboration with the global patient community, and with the compassion and commitment of our employees. One of the key pillars of our success going forward will be the success of our Medical Education, ensuring that patients, HCPs and our internal teams understand the diseases that we work with, and ensure that patients are appropriately diagnosed and treated. To that end we are creating a first-class Medical Education team within Rare Diseases.

They will also be responsible for the development, strategic alignment, and execution of Rare Diseases Congress strategy (aligned with overall Rare Diseases TA objectives) that will shape how the Rare Diseases Medical Team communicates with both internal and external audiences at congresses pertinent to our Rare Diseases portfolio.
