Whether they are in the lab, part of our business development team or on the phones with patients, we depend on a talented global workforce to lead the charge as we work toward developing tomorrow's breakthrough medicines. 

At Vertex, we invest in science and taking smart risks. Globally, 3 out of 5 employees are dedicated to R&D. As a result of our efforts, we are one of only a handful of companies that have internally discovered and developed ≥ 5 novel medicines. Vertex’s San Diego site discovered our four medicines to treat people with Cystic Fibrosis,  a rare, chronic, and life-limiting genetic disease.
