Research and Development Lundbeck aims to be a world leader within research and development of integrated treatment concepts for psychiatric and neurological diseases. Research is the very basis of Lundbecks activities. Only through targeted, effective and focused research can we ensure that we shall be able to continue to bring new, epoch-making pharmaceuticals to the market to the benefit of the many people suffering from psychiatric and neurological diseases. By concentrating solely on research and development within psychiatry and neurology we are able to attract and keep the highly skilled employees both Danish and other nationals on whom fulfilment of our vision depends. 66
