David: Guerbet is a pioneer with a long history – over 100 years in the field of contrast agents, particularly in MRI, having invented the 1st macrocyclic GBCA, which has been on the market for more than 30 years and in more than 70 countries.
This really gives us the opportunity to build very strong relationships with the radiology community and through that better understand their medical needs.
We’re a company with a long-term growth strategy supported by shareholders from the Guerbet family and we invest a significant part of our revenues 10% in R&D (Research & Development). With more than 200 of our employees are dedicated to innovation in 5 R&D centers around the world. They’re actively collaborate with a broad network of academic partners, centers of excellence to strengthen and accelerate our innovation capabilities.
Guerbet’s innovation in MRI is not restricted to the development of contrast agents and injection systems. We’re also actively exploring new approaches in MRI, including the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), this is a way to the future of clinical imaging.
At the basis our guiding principle (and this is also our purpose) has really been – can we build a lasting relationship to do something together that enables people to live better. At Guerbet we relentless in our commitment to go further and to help build the future of medical imaging.
Collaborating closely with radiological community, observing and listening, sharing knowledge through multiple educational resources – that allows us to better anticipate what their needs are for patients. And I would add that what makes us unique ‘Guerbet touch’ is with nearly a century of passion and dedication to innovation. This is the commitment that drives our R&D teams to create innovations that serve both radiologists and patients.
Guerbet will obviously continue to invest in R&D specifically focused on helping our radiologists, delivering on their expectations in their daily practice and help them improve on patient outcomes.
If you think about it, given the ever-increasing volume of information that radiologists are expected to be aware of, about best practices and new techniques in the field of MRI.
For us it seems fairly obvious for us to provide what help we can in this area. Guerbet is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation in MRI and as a leader in the field we believe by sharing information and building new solutions, we can really add value.
We’re specifically focused on working on innovation that will improve the radiology practice and benefit patients. One area of innovation is ‘how do we find solutions to reduce gadolinium retention in both in patients and in the environment’. The is an emerging unmet need and in this are Guerbet primarily position to help
