In an era when global health challenges are greater than ever, and where medical science is advancing at an unprecedented rate, we have the opportunity to make a real difference for patients and society.

Explore how we are focusing where we can have the greatest impact; in therapeutic areas where there are high unmet patient needs.

Imagine a world where disease doesn’t stop you living your life on your own terms. Where treatment happens with you, not to you. Where medicines reduce the burden of disease for people and society. At Novartis, our teams are more energized than ever to work together and with partners in industry and academia to turn scientific breakthroughs into medicines that change lives.

Together, let’s reimagine medicine to improve and extend people’s lives.
