From Jan. 1, 2018, Bayer will streamline its strategic pharmaceutical research and development activities and combine them under a single unit covering the therapeutic areas cardiology, gynecology, ophthalmology, hematology and oncology.

The new unit will be headed by Joerg Moeller, head of development in the German group’s pharmaceuticals division since Feb. 1, 2014. Moeller will continue to report to Dieter Weinand, president of Bayer's pharmaceuticals division and member of the board of management.
