————————————————————————————————————–
Please prepare a research report on a biomedical company that is assigned to you below (the assigned company is
Gilead). The report should be 10-pages long (excluding tables, figures, and references), double-spaced, 12-
point Times New Roman font, with 1-inch margins.
This report should thoroughly explore your company and provide the reader with a balanced and
critical insight, supported with appropriate literature. Provide a clear and engaging introduction
to your company and review its history, current business focus, and global activities. Examine
and describe the company’s product portfolio including both products on the market and in
development. You may need to search “clinicaltrials.gov” to gather information regarding
products in development. Then choose one product to examine more in-depth including
consideration of its global impact. Describe the product. Who and where are the target patients
for the product? Where are the clinical trials being conducted? What is the distribution of
therapeutic need? How would the product impact global health? Based on your research, what is
the global regulatory and marketing strategy for the product?
Provide your own narrative that is organized and reflective of your critical thinking. Provide
in-text citation and a list of references at the end. Use headings and subheadings to organize
the document. Provide a well-organized and clearly written report with current/ appropriate
bibliography (no Wikipedia or alike).
