00:00Novartis has decided to focus on four fundamental therapeutic areas,
00:12which are the cardiovascular area, the oncological area, the neuroscience area and the immunology area.
00:19In these four areas, we are looking, through innovative technological platforms
00:25that are next to the more conventional platforms,
00:29to identify treatments that are increasingly personalized for the patient.
00:36In particular, cellular therapies, hygienic therapies, RNA-based therapies and radiology therapies.
00:45In the future, our commitment will certainly continue,
00:50in particular in the cardiovascular area,
00:53it is important our contribution in the research of those cardiovascular risk factors
00:59that compete with the pathologies that today represent one of the main causes of death and morbidity.
01:07And also thanks to the new discoveries, such as the high levels of lipoprotein A,
01:14the identification of new risk factors that somehow compete with the genesis of these cardiovascular pathologies.
01:23We have also recently had important acquisitions from other companies
01:28and therefore the idea is precisely to expand the leadership in the cardiovascular area
01:33also on other pathologies, such as, for example,
01:36the prevention of diffuse embolism and ictus in patients with atrial fibrillation.
01:43Novartis is the first research and development company in Italy
01:49with an annual investment of about 60 million euros
01:54and a number of clinical studies equal to about 200 every year.
