Description: GILD Gilead Sciences

Gilead Sciences is a U.S.-headquartered biopharmaceutical company founded in 1987 and based in Foster City, California. Listed on NASDAQ since 1992, it operates in the biotechnology sub-industry of health care, discovering, developing, and commercializing medicines primarily in areas of unmet medical need across the United States, Europe, and other international markets.

The companys commercial portfolio spans several major therapeutic areas. Its HIV franchise includes Biktarvy, Descovy, Genvoya, Odefsey, Symtuza, and Yeztugo for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. For liver diseases, Gilead markets Epclusa and Vemlidy (hepatitis B and C) and Livdelzi (primary biliary cholangitis). In oncology, it offers Tecartus and Yescarta as CAR T-cell therapies, along with Trodelvy for certain cancers. Additional products include AmBisome for serious invasive fungal infections and Veklury for COVID-19. Biopharmaceutical companies like Gilead typically generate revenue through prescription drug sales protected by patents and regulatory exclusivity periods.

Gilead supplements its internal pipeline with extensive external partnerships, holding collaboration or licensing agreements with entities including Arcus Biosciences, Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., Janssen Sciences Ireland, Everest Medicines, Assembly Biosciences, Merus N.V., Terray Therapeutics, and LEO Pharma. These agreements cover areas such as trispecific antibodies, small molecule therapies, and the oral STAT6 program. Partnership-driven R&D is a common feature of the biotech sector, where licensing and collaboration deals help spread development risk and broaden pipeline access.
