Collaboration defines our culture
We know that collaborating with the world’s experts is a cornerstone to solving some of science’s most difficult problems. Collaboration is one of our core values at Vertex — it defines our culture.
Externally, our collaborations with companies, academia, research organizations and nonprofit organizations help drive scientific innovation and the development of new medicines.
Internally, it creates an environment that encourages the open exchange of ideas and provides the freedom for our talented employees to explore new scientific concepts. Our Vertex Opportunities for Intrapreneurship & Corporate Evolution (VOICE) program is a great example. Check it out here.
Partnerships enhance scientific innovation
To support our mission, we seek external partnerships that promote scientific innovation, and we’re focused on creating relationships that are grounded in deep biological knowledge of a disease and target. We believe that innovation should not be limited to opportunities based solely on specific stages of development or on particular treatment modalities.
Our current priorities include:
-
Supporting Vertex’s cystic fibrosis strategy of bringing innovative medicines to patients by complementing our existing research efforts and clinical assets with additional tools and/or technologies.
-
Diversifying our portfolio with potentially transformative medicines in diseases where there is a high unmet need.
-
Leveraging cutting-edge technology platforms to accelerate the discovery of new disease targets, compounds, delivery mechanisms and potential treatment modalities.
-
Maximizing the potential of Vertex assets by using strategic collaborations and licensing opportunities to enable speedy and thorough development.
Vertex is a trusted partner
We value developing strategic relationships that are mutually beneficial. Our approach is to create successful partnerships with well-articulated principles and value propositions. Our portfolio of alliances consists of a variety of collaboration models to meet the different needs of our partners.
Vertex works to maximize the value of our partnerships for both organizations, seeking to make decisions that align our common goals and, most importantly, bring benefits to patients as quickly as possible. We work collaboratively to make informed and strategic decisions to rapidly progress our partnered programs.
Areas of interest
We're actively exploring all approaches that may change the treatment of a serious disease where no adequate treatment currently exists. We are seeking technologies that will enable exploration of new diseases or disease targets.
