“Innovative therapeutic areas” are fields of medicine where researchers aim to better understand complex health conditions. These areas focus on new knowledge, scientific methods, or different ways to study diseases that remain difficult to understand or treat.

Neuroscience research studies conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. This includes movement disorders that affect coordination and muscle control, migraines that cause frequent headaches and sensory issues, and serious mental illnesses (SMIs) like schizophrenia.

These disorders can greatly impact thinking, behavior, and daily life. Understanding these conditions helps researchers find new ways to support people living with them.

Movement disorders affect how a person moves. They can cause issues like shaking, stiff muscles, slow movements, problems with balance, or sudden, hard-to-control motions.

Some movement disorders get worse over time, while others may not noticeably change much. Because movement is essential for daily activities, these disorders can affect a person's independence, mobility and ability to participate in life, thus significantly reducing overall quality of life. This makes them a vital area for ongoing research.

Neuroscience research looks at long-term mental health conditions, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and bipolar disorder. These conditions involve disruption of perception, thinking, behavior and mood among others and vary greatly in how they present and are experienced from person to person.

Researchers explore biological, genetic, and environmental factors to understand how these conditions develop and why they differ from person to person.

Teva’s neuroscience research is supported by multidisciplinary teams across global R&D hubs in the United States, Israel, India, Croatia, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Teva’s neuroscience research is supported by multidisciplinary teams across global R&D hubs.

Approximately 3,700 employees support Teva’s neuroscience efforts worldwide, collaborating across locations and different institutions to advance scientific understanding of neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Researchers can confirm hypothesis, identify gaps in knowledge that need more explorations. This information can influence future research directions, other scientific endeavors and can even inform medical practice decisions.

Research in health helps us understand how diseases work and change over time. By studying biological processes and how conditions develop, researchers can find areas where we need more information. Any discovered insights may later influence future research directions and other scientific efforts. 

Collaboration is crucial in medical research because complex health issues often require different types of expertise. Researchers, doctors, data experts, and scientific teams need to work together to share insights that one discipline may not provide alone.

Working together allows scientific communities to explore new ideas and compare different approaches. Research becomes more collaborative as different communities combine their knowledge to tackle challenges more effectively and in a coordinated way.
