At Talecris, taking on responsibility means showing full commitment to therapeutic advances and the progress of related new scientific knowledge.

eALTA is a European research initiative funded by Bayer HealthCare Biological Products in 2004. Talecris Biotherpeutics as Bayer’s successor is proud to continue Bayer’s commitment to the Alpha-1 community.

Through eALTA, we promote the realisations of innovative ideas and visions in the field of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). Our aim is to give novel ideas a real chance. eALTA offers the award winners scientific and financial freedom to pursue clinical and scientific research in AATD and AATD associated diseases - and consequently help to shape the future of AATD therapy.
