Biogen Idec Argentina is part of a multinational company, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts which has, since its formation, gained a commercial presence in over 29 markets. Their two leading products, AVONEX and RITUXAN, have for years ranked among the top ten biotechnology products sold globally.
