## [Therapeutic areas](/us-en/about/therapeutic-areas "Therapeutic areas") Our innovative medicines strike the balance between bold science and a deep understanding of the human experience of disease. In an era when global health challenges are greater than ever, and where medical science is advancing at an unprecedented rate, we have the opportunity to make a real difference for patients and society. Imagine a world where disease doesn’t stop you from living life on your own terms. Where treatment happens with you, not to you. Where medicines reduce the burden of disease for people and society. At Novartis, our teams are more energized than ever to work together with industry and academic partners to turn scientific breakthroughs into medicines that change lives. Together, let’s reimagine medicine to improve and extend people’s lives. ## Areas of focus ![A smiling older man wearing glasses and a yellow polo shirt seated in a medical office, listening attentively to a healthcare professional who is pointing at a tablet screen.
