Oncology

Our leadership in oncology is rooted in heart, science and ingenuity, and driven by a palpable commitment to improve and transform the lives of patients facing a cancer diagnosis. We won’t stop until we get to cure.

I am committed to driving convergent R&D with our talented teams across Johnson & Johnson to help prevent, intercept and cure lung cancer with an aim of transforming the trajectory of this disease for millions of people.

I challenge our scientists and engineers across all Medical Devices R&D to work together and partner with our Janssen R&D colleagues to build innovative devices and solutions that detect, treat, and ultimately eradicate cancer.

The pandemic shows the importance of being able to prevent, intercept or cure diseases, to eliminate them rather than manage their consequences. At Johnson & Johnson, we are applying these principles to other diseases, including lung cancer. I look forward to a day when people know cancer from history books only.
