TORONTO, May 7, 2024
/CNW/ - BeiGene Canada, the country affiliate of global
oncology company BeiGene, specializing in the discovery and
development of novel, affordable, and accessible oncology

Canadian headquarters where the company will work to extend the
boundaries of 'the possible,' fulfilling BeiGene's promise of
delivering best-in-class, innovative treatments to the Canadian
cancer community.
"With the unveiling of our new workspace, we are not just
establishing a physical presence, we are nurturing a local culture
of innovation and partnership," says Peter
Brenders, General Manager of BeiGene Canada. "Our new
Toronto office is more than just
bricks and mortar, it embodies our commitment to Canada for oncology drug development and
injecting innovation into the fight against cancer."
To celebrate the inauguration of the Toronto office, BeiGene Canada hosted a
gathering of trusted collaborators, team members and special
guests, including industry leaders and cancer care advocates.

BeiGene's oncology research and treatment initiatives.
In keeping with BeiGene's patient-centric approach, a
special presentation was made to Gilda's Club Greater Toronto,

by cancer. The donation will benefit Gilda's Toronto's Family Camp, which provides
participants with the chance to engage in a community of shared
experience while creating memories, connections and
legacy as a family. Elana Shapiro,
