Seeking the best ideas, wherever they are

At Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, we believe that true innovation comes from the continually expanding global “think tank” of talented and passionate pioneers. We pursue new perspectives and innovative ideas wherever they are—inside or outside our company—and work with the best scientific minds in cardiovascular today.

Focus and readiness propel innovation

We focus our investment where we see an area of expertise and the potential for innovation. As an organization, we’ve committed to focusing on select disease areas where we are developing deep expertise. When a groundbreaking idea emerges, we are poised to rapidly move forward.

The best of both worlds

Our focus in cardiovascular matches an entrepreneurial biotech spirit within a global pharmaceutical framework. We are active collaborators and project champions, committed to giving projects the time and attention they need to be successful.

We aim to be the partner of choice whether joining with academia, advancing promising compounds and working with talented researchers, or forming research and development and business alliances with companies that possess complementary strengths.

Our capabilities include state-of-the-art discovery, biomarkers, companion diagnostics and global development programs of biologics and small molecules, and strong commercialization entities that market our products in more than 175 countries.

Committed to partnering

We engage in diverse and varied partnerships through our regional Innovation Centers and Business Development group.

These teams of scientific, transaction and alliance management experts lead the identification, evaluation and execution of agreements relating to compounds and technologies. Together, our Innovation Centers and Business Development teams drive the strategic focus and manage our external collaborations for mutual long-term success with academic institutions, venture investors and biotech and large pharmaceutical companies alike.

Our talent sets us apart

At Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, our people ensure that each partnership and collaborative effort is driven by an entrepreneurial spirit coupled with dedication to cutting-edge technology and scientific leadership in the cardiovascular area. As a team, we have the commitment and focus to bring innovation to life. As individuals, we are passionate about advancing solutions for patients.
