Neuroscience

We're pushing boundaries of scientific understanding to achieve clinical advancements and solve some of the greatest challenges in neuroscience today— to preserve what makes us who we are.

Challenge

Impacting millions

There are hundreds of nervous system disorders impacting millions of people around the world. Almost everyone knows a person affected by a neurological condition, which can have a profound impact on day-to-day life. Our innovative medicines and diagnostic tests continue to push the boundaries of scientific understanding and help patients worldwide.

A highly complex field

Nervous system disorders can create barriers that impact our ability to engage, to move, to remember and over time, can change or take away the unique qualities that make us who we are. Or in the case of disorders affecting children, who we may become. Over time, the physical, mental and emotional burden can be overwhelming. However, people with nervous system disorders face their challenges with bravery and determination.

Focus

Following the science

We are driven by the idea that the rigorous pursuit of ground-breaking science can transform the lives of people facing serious and life-threatening diseases. We are collaborating with academia, scientists, industry partners and clinical trial participants, and are following the science to improve the lives of patients.

With their support, we are collectively responsible for major therapeutic advances in some of the world’s most difficult-to-treat diseases.

Bridging the gap

Neurological conditions have been the most complex to understand and treat, and the impact of these conditions is creating new challenges for health systems, economies, patients, and families across the globe.

Data generation is essential to provide a clear and measurable understanding of the global and local burden of disease.

Read more about how we are working with our partners to leverage the power of data to drive active change and tackle societal burden head on.

Hope for the future

Neuroscience is a cornerstone of our future, but we cannot do it alone. Together, with our partners, we will continue to push the boundaries of scientific understanding to achieve clinical advancements and solve some of the greatest challenges in neuroscience today. Our hope is to create a tomorrow where neurological disorders no longer limit human potential—to preserve what makes us who we are.
