Though not the biggest company in the industry, Genzyme is still larger than a few hundred others and solidly on the top 10 list.  They focus on rare (but serious) disorders, which means they've got experience dealing with the unusual, which could be of great help for The Survivors' understanding of how they've changed.  Further, they've got a great history of charity - they've been providing about 200 patients in about 15 countries free enzyme treatment for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaucher%27s_Disease Gaucher's disease] for the last few years, with plans to expand that program as they're able.  Their main facility is outside of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston Boston], but they have built a facility closer to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington%2C_D.C. Washington, D.C.] to better interact with [[The Hopewell Foundation]].

They are the first corporate partnership that the Foundation has made and currently hold [[Jack Bennett|Jack Bennett's]] insensate body and the Survivor Energy-powered [[Carrie Sellers]] in their care.
