As guided by Our Credo, Johnson & Johnson is responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world.  We provide an inclusive work environment where each person is considered as an individual.  At Johnson & Johnson, we respect the diversity and dignity of our employees and recognize their merit.

Fueled by innovation at the intersection of biology and technology, we’re developing the next generation of smarter, less invasive, more personalized treatments.

Our team is at the forefront of developing advanced imaging technology aimed at improving laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. Project development currently requires use of in vivo models, which present limitations due to resource requirements, slow turnaround times, and difficulty controlling the tissue state.

To overcome these challenges, we are initiating the development of benchtop ex vivo and in vitro models. These models are designed to simulate human blood and tissue accurately, facilitating quicker and more controlled testing scenarios. Through our enhanced lab capabilities, we will be able to significantly expedite and refine development of our laparoscopic camera's software and algorithms.
