Our Purpose: The Promise of Better Healthcare At Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development, L.L.C. (J&JPRD), we start each day focused on the promise that better healthcare can bring to patients around the world. By leveraging our world-class discovery and development expertise, we bring innovative, effective treatments for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, central nervous system disorders and pain to ease patients' suffering and to significantly improve their health and overall quality of life.

While some medical conditions are very treatable, and even curable, for many patients, there are conditions where treatments are sub-optimal or where there are a limited number of therapeutic options available to afford them relief. Yet, the wealth of information generated by modern medicine and the convergence of other fields underpinning science-based healthcare solutions is changing the face of science and medicine at an unprecedented pace, while opening a world of once-unforeseen possibilities. Within our labs, scientists are harnessing these advances and are breaking new ground in the development of tomorrow's medicines, with the aim of bringing patients greater relief through new treatment options.

Many of the compounds we are developing have the potential to be first-in-class or best-in-class in their therapeutic category. As a result, our pipeline is strong and robust in all stages of development with technologically differentiated and therapeutically diverse compounds.
