Areas of Innovation

We invest in key areas that will drive innovation within our pipeline for years to come.

The future is what we make it

We're focused on finding better ways to bring the right medicines to patients – tailoring and personalizing our therapies and letting the patient voice and experience guide us. We’re investing in key areas and technologies such as precision medicine, data convergence, genetics and genomics and patient-focused drug development.

We believe that innovation in these areas — along with our unique mix of therapeutic modalities and advanced tools — will drive innovation within our pipeline, advance programs with a stronger probability of success, and increase our potential to deliver better solutions to patients.

Areas of Innovation: At a Glance


AI & Data Convergence

We’re working to revolutionize R&D with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and an industry-leading data platform to help speed up the pace of discovery with the goal to bring transformative medicines to patients faster. 

Genomics

With access to more than 1 million genomes, we’re leading one of the world’s largest genomics research efforts and working to develop and deliver new and more tailored medicines for the right patient at the right time.

Patient-focused drug development

From partnering with patients to advance drug development to diversifying our clinical trials to harnessing real-world data, our scientists use novel approaches that apply patient insights to deliver products and solutions for conditions with great unmet need.

Precision medicine

We’re using advanced technologies to help accelerate medicines and leveraging deep understanding of disease mechanisms to target the right patient with the right medicine at the right time.

Therapeutic modalities & platforms

Through investments in breakthrough platform technologies, artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) applications and drug delivery advances, we continue to grow our R&D toolbox — a mix of traditional and cutting-edge therapeutic modalities — to create the best compound for a specific target.
