Merck & Co., Inc. is a leading research-driven pharmaceutical products and services company. Merck discovers, develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of innovative medicines and vaccines to improve human and animal health, directly and through its joint ventures. Merck Research Laboratories (MRL) is the foundation on which Merck & Co., Inc. has built its more that 100-year-old reputation for excellence and innovation in drug research and development. MRL’s focus on breakthrough medicine and sustained application of the best in science and technology enables our Laboratories to attract world-class talent. Our work philosophy is based on common goals and teamwork, including both interdepartmental and multi-disciplinary coordination; as well as knowledge sharing supported by cutting-edge data technology. For example, in Basic Research, pharmacologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, cell biologists, virologists, microbiologists, immunologists, veterinarians, physicians and chemists work together on drug discovery projects. For example, in drug discovery researchers with expertise in diverse disciplines (pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular & cell biology and other biological disciplines, veterinarians, physicians and medicinal chemists) work together on drug discovery projects.. These scientists also form teams across therapeutic areas such as neurobiology, metabolism, endocrinology, molecular modeling, bioinformatics and immunology.
Innovative breakthrough research is the hallmark of Merck’s success. We focus our research on areas where there is the greatest need for significant medical advance. When you look at Merck’s pipeline, from preclinical development to phase III clinical trials, you can see the breadth and depth of our research in areas such as diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis.
Merck is leveraging new technologies to help improve and accelerate drug development. Molecular profiling allows us to rapidly assess the toxicity risk of thousands of identified compounds and prioritize entries into extensive preclinical studies. Even though today’s tools and technologies help speed the discovery and development effort, ultimate success takes the skillful weaving of teamwork, discipline and focus.
Our research capabilities are being expanded further by locating new laboratories in geographic centers of scientific excellence, such as San Diego, Seattle and Boston. The new Merck research facility being built in the heart of Boston's medical and scientific community opens in the summer of 2004. MRL strives to recruit researchers who are leaders in their scientific and technical disciplines.
