Our Partners
Click here to view our partners Merck has a long tradition of successful partnerships, from our collaboration in the 1930s with Professor Selman A. Waksman in the discovery and development of streptomycin, to our current partnerships on the cutting edge of scientific discovery.
Our shared partnership successes are at the very heart of our business. Eleven of our 20 new products launched since 1995 are the result of licensing alliances, including COZAAR® (losartan potassium) , HYZAAR® (losartan potassium and hydroclorothiazide), FOSAMAX® (alendronate sodium), INVANZ® (ertapenem sodium), EMEND® (aprepitant), PEPCID® AC (famotidine), VARIVAX® (varicella virus vaccine live (Oka/Merck)], and COMVAX® [Haemophilus b Conjugate (Meningococcal Protein Conjugate) and Hepatitis B (Recombinant) Vaccine]. Most recently, our alliance with Schering-Plough has resulted in the launch of ZETIA® (ezetimibe) and VYTORIN® (ezetimibe/simvastatin), the highly successful first-in-class treatments for high cholesterol.
With the advent of the biotechnology era, we understand that 99 percent of the world’s biotechnology research takes place outside of Merck Research Laboratories. Whether a biotechnology company, an academic institution, or a small to medium-size pharmaceutical company, we understand that our partners have unique strengths to identify innovative new compounds and technologies. Through alliances with our innovative partners, we are committed to bringing forward the best scientific programs from internal research and external collaborations.
We have hundreds of collaborations with companies, institutions, academics, and others. Here are some examples of disclosed transactions completed in 2003-2007.
