Abbott: Science & Technology
.













 |
Above all, Abbott is a science company. More than
5,000 Abbott scientists around the world are committed to
developing new health care technologies to improve lives.
Read on to learn more about our approach to the science
of health care for today and
the future. |
Developing breakthrough health care technology takes more than
commitment. It takes time. Funding. Creative thinking. To support
our commitment to advancing medical science, we devote more than $1 billion every year toward the research and
development of innovative health care solutions. Here's what
we're focusing on today:
 |
|
Using both internal and external
resources, our scientists are pursuing new compounds in
crucial therapeutic areas, such as immunoscience,
anti-infectives, neuroscience and aging and degenerative
diseases.
|
 |
|
In addition to strengthening our
market-leading position in immunodiagnostics with faster
diagnostic instruments and a host of new tests, we're
also aggressively developing DNA-based testing methods,
as well as the next generation of
"non-invasive" diagnostic technologies.
|
 |
|
Our goal is to develop innovative
products that help hospital customers and other health
care providers lower costs and improve both productivity
and patient care. We're discovering new solutions in a
broad range of technologies, such as anesthesia and drug
delivery systems.
|
 |
|
As the world leader in scientifically
formulated nutrition, we're advancing the science of
nutrition for children and adults with a next-generation
infant formula, improved general use adult nutritionals
and disease-specific nutritionals.
|
 |
|
We've been the leading developer of environmentally
friendly pesticides and plant growth regulators for
years. Now we're also pursuing innovative solutions in
animal health.
