“The search for lost music has been a big motivator in my life and has enabled me to take the maximum benefit from my MS treatment.”

Olga Bobrovnikova, MS patient

We make it possible…to give new hope to new patients

Multiple sclerosis: the end of a career? Not for Olga Bobrovnikova. Shortly after she

had completed her studies at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, the twenty-year-old

pianist noticed the first symptoms: weakness in her legs and minor problems with her

sense of balance. These were diagnosed as a “neurological infection” with serious

consequences. It was not until December 2000, following several of the characteristic

episodes, that multiple sclerosis was confirmed. For Olga Bobrovnikova, who lived to play

her piano, it was the shock of her life. Despite the possibility that it could mean the end

of her career, Olga refused to give up.

Olga was offered MS treatment from Biogen Idec and soon she began to feel a positive

effect. From there her health has only improved and today she plays the piano with more

bravura than ever before - delighting audiences all over the world.

Patients

deserve our best

We make it possible

for Olga to return

to normal life

Our commitment to improving

the lives of patients guides our

actions every step of the way.

One of Biogen Idec’s core values is a commitment to those we serve. Our goal is to help

patients and their families live the fullest lives possible.

Cancer affects most people - as patients or as relatives of a patient. Despite years of

intensive research, cancer rates are still on the rise. Biogen Idec discovered the first

monoclonal antibody to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for a cancer

indication, and today it is the No. 1 seller of cancer therapeutics in the United States.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Biogen Idec

developed the leading treatment for relapsing forms of MS. This treatment slows the

progression of disability and reduces relapse. Olga Bobrovnikova is one particularly

bright example of how a patient’s life is transformed by our therapies.

Janne, Associate Director, Medical Affairs Nordic Commercial Denmark

It is exciting to work on novel research that may one day help the patients that I see as a practicing neurologist. Everyday I work with people who are committed to discovering the next scientific breakthrough that will advance the treatment of chronic and de-bilitating diseases.

I wanted to work for a company whose primary goal is to help

patients. I also wanted to work for a company that appreciates

their employees and the work that they do. Biogen Idec meets

both of my goals.

Donna, Sr. Associate II, Regulatory OperationsCalifornia, U.S.

As a physician I am fascinated with what biotechnology has done

to improve the lives of so many patients across the globe. I am

impressed by how Biogen Idec communicates proactively with

patients and the public in order to explain this complex technology

in a transparent and understandable way.

Katja, Sr. Director, Public AffairsSwitizerland

Biogen Idec allows people to accept new challenges to broaden

their experience and stretch their abilities. This creates a very

rewarding and enjoyable work environment and is the reason I

have been here for over 10 years.
