AbbVie

In the field of neuroscience, with many tough-to-treat disorders and high unmet need, our scientists are relentless in their pursuit of raising the standards of care. But the brain is complex, and new challenges require new ways of thinking across all stages of drug discovery and development.

That’s why we are continuously exploring innovative, disease-modifying approaches to address some of the most prevalent and serious disorders, from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s to migraine, schizophrenia and stroke.

We work across all stages of development in search of novel therapeutics and drug-device combinations that have the potential to treat chronic disabling neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Boehringer Ingelheim

We have made a long-term, generational commitment to transform the mental health landscape through our research and collaborations with a variety of like-minded stakeholders. By taking a strategic and intentional precision psychiatry approach, our hope is to design treatments that have the potential to address the brain biology associated with specific symptoms.

Our innovative pipeline of owned and partnered assets represents potential opportunities to make precision psychiatry a reality in indications of high unmet need and sits at the core of our ambition to create a deeper understanding of the drivers of chronic and complex mental health conditions. We go beyond the idea that mental health treatment is just a pill and are driven to provide holistic support through early detection of disease, ongoing psychological and social interventions, as well as prescription digital therapeutics.

We strive to alleviate the burden on people living with mental health conditions, their care partners, loved ones and society.
