At Vertex Pharmaceuticals, our engineers work with our scientists to help make the drug discovery process more productive.
“Along the drug discovery journey, scientists hit a lot of roadblocks,” says James Sinclair, Senior Director of Engineering and Applied Physics at Vertex. “But I don’t know any other biopharma company with a team of engineers like ours.”
Watch the video below, where James explains how our engineers use their keen eye for problem solving and efficiency to tackle obstacles in drug discovery — from implementing artificial intelligence in data analysis to integrating instruments with digital tools to optimize workflows.
