PFIZER ANNUAL REVIEW 2014 www.pzer.com/annual 39
ANNUAL REVIEW 2014
Our Science > Research and Development
Today, we are at a unique moment in biomedical innovation. More
than a decade after the decoding of the human genome, we have
a fundamentally better understanding of human biology and what
causes disease. We also have learned that it takes more than just
great science to deliver meaningful potential new therapies. Over
the last few years, Pzer has better integrated science and business,
transforming our approach to be more collaborative, more focused,
and, ultimately, more powerful for patients, with a goal of delivering
a sustainable ow of important new medicines and vaccines, year
after year.

POSITIONING PFIZER
FOR SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION

advanced science and technologies into the therapies that matter most.
