The seed for Amplio Pharma was planted at the turn of the century when all 3 founders/inventors worked at Astra Zeneca R&D in Lund.
That in the company’s logo, the letter “a/a” (alpha), the letter “ph/j” (phi), the infinity sign “¥” and the staff/snake of the medical god Aesculapius (the son of Apollo) are all linked together? The mix of the modern and ancient alphabet refers to the value that can be found in new and old know-how, the infinity points to the fact that the value in this mix is endless. And of course, we are fully committed to the development of products that will benefit the health of humankind. The blue color symbolizes the limitless of the sky and the green our commitment to sustainability. This logo was designed by Sara Sällberg (20) a student at LTH (the faculty of engineering at the University of Lund) where she studies industrial design.
