In this exclusive interview, Fintan Walton talks to Dr Susan Pond, Managing Director of Johnson & Johnson Research in Australia, about the company’s position in the J&J organisation, and how J&J is one of the few multinational companies that has a bona fide biotechnology discovery presence in Australia. She discusses how the company centres on RNA and DNA research, but also looks for Australian technology that could be of value to J&J globally. Dr Pond also describes the importance of the company’s interaction with local academic organisations, through both collaboration agreements and the joint supervision of PhD students.
