At Pfizer
Inc., we apply science and our global resources to improve health and
well-being at every stage of life. We strive to set the standard for quality,
safety and value in the discovery, development and manufacturing of medicines
for people and animals.
Today,
Pfizer is an even more diversified health care company because of its
acquisition of Wyeth. The combined company has a robust and growing pipeline with product offerings in human, animal,
and consumer health, including vaccines, biologics, small molecules and
nutrition across the developed and emerging markets. It has medicines in
numerous growing therapeutic areas,premier scientific and manufacturing capabilities and a leading global
presence.
The combined company has a robust and growing pipeline of
biopharmaceutical development projects to help patients in critical areas,
including Alzheimer’s disease, oncology, pain, neuroscience, diabetes and
inflammation. The combination of top scientists from both companies, as well as
leading scientific and manufacturing capabilities, and a global network of
proof-of-concept clinical development centers, has greatly enhanced the
company’s ability to innovate.
To
maximize new opportunities in biomedical research, and bring more innovative
medicines to more patients more quickly, Pfizer has created two distinct
research organizations. The PharmaTherapeutics Research & Development Group
focuses on the discovery of small molecules and related modalities; and The
BioTherapeutics Research & Development Group focuses on large-molecule
research, including vaccines.
Pfizer
has also developed an enhanced commercial operating structure with nine diverse
health care businesses: Primary Care, Specialty Care, Oncology, Emerging
Markets, Established Products, Consumer Healthcare, Nutrition, Animal Health
and Capsugel. Each of these businesses is led by an executive with clear
accountability for results—from product development following proof of concept
to providing access to patients and through to the end of the product's life
cycle. The businesses are provided with the resources to pursue attractive
growth opportunities and to deliver benefits to all who rely on us around the
world.
Every
day, Pfizer colleagues work across developed and emerging markets to advance
wellness, prevention, treatments and cures. Consistent with our responsibility
as the world’s leading biopharmaceutical company, we also collaborate with
health care providers, governments and local communities to support and expand
access to reliable, affordable health care around the world. For more than
150 years, Pfizer has worked to make a difference for all who rely on
us.
