History
Leonard Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., a young neurologist and assistant professor at Cornell University Medical College, establishes the company in 1988 based on the principle that dedication to strong science would lead to important new medicines. His two co-founders are nationally-known scientists Drs. Alfred Gilman, Len's Ph.D. thesis advisor at the University of Virginia, and Dr. Eric Shooter. Drs. Gilman and Shooter recruit other leading scientists to join the company s scientific advisory board to help guide the young company. The company is named Regeneron because of the intention to focus on the use of gene technology to regenerate neurons. The first $1 million is raised from Merrill Lynch Venture Capital, Inc.
The company went public on Nasdaq stock market in 1991.
In 2011, Regeneron files for regulatory approval of EYLEA (aflibercept) Injection in February, receives FDA approval in November, and immediately makes the drug available in the U.S.
In 2012, FDA approves ZALTRAP for metastatic colorectal cancer.
