Pursuing Innovation
The pursuit of innovation is basic to Pfizer's culture. It shapes our strategy,
defines our purpose, and governs every facet of our operations -- from research
and development (R&D) that leads to pharmaceutical inventions, to the transfer
of knowledge to patients and providers, to the way we respond to the changing marketplace.
Pfizer scientists have produced innovative breakthroughs in a wide range of research
areas, including depression, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, HIV infection,
hypertension, bacterial infections and systemic fungal infections. And today we're
taking on some of the world's most difficult diseases, including cancer, arthritis,
and osteoporosis.
