Our Operations

The Athenex specialty pharmaceutical products team markets and sells in-licensed and 503B pharmaceutical products which are therapeutically related to our proprietary portfolio. In 2019, the Company established Athenex Oncology to lead the launch and commercial marketing of our proprietary products. The Company has also internalized key components of the supply chain, which it believes are integral to minimizing the risks of potential disruptions associated with a high potency oncology supply chain.
