Date:5/12/2008

to the lives of so many patients, an outcome that Dr. Janssen especially would have appreciated.

The work of Feldmann and Maini has dramatically transformed the treatment of chronic inflammatory conditions and given millions of people new hope, said Paul Stoffels, M.D., Company Group Chairman, Research & Development, Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson. The passion with which these two scientists have driven forward translational research reflects the leadership and innovation that defined Dr. Paul. Johnson & Johnson is delighted to honor them with the Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research.

Harlan Weisman, M.D., Chief Science and Technology Officer, Medical Devices and Diagnostics, Johnson & Johnson, concurred. Scientific breakthroughs that have the power to transform an entire field of medicine, such as the discovery of TNF-alphas role as a therapeutic target, are rare and game-changing. Feldman and Mainis work has tremendous potential to transform research and human health, and it has shed new light on how we study crippling immune mediated inflammatory disorders.

In addition to winning the 2008 Dr. Paul Janssen Award for Biomedical Research, Feldmann and Maini have been widely honored for their work. They received the Albert Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award in 2003 and the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy in 2000, among others.
