JN’s research and development organization draws upon expertise in multiple discovery plat­forms. This means that, in addition to traditional small molecules, we are sharply focused on biologics. We have outlined a number of early-stage development that include three novel CNS vaccines and diagnostics to fight Stroke and Alzheimer’s diseases. We also have programs progressing through development that seek to expand existing products with newly identified uses and indications. We are hopeful for U.S. approval in 2017 for Meningococcal conjugate vaccine and our human trial outcome will be reviewed at an FDA advisory committee meeting.
