Vertex has developed an integrated team environment where employees set high goals and work together to accomplish them. We provide our employees with tools that enable them to achieve, and we provide opportunities for professional development. We encourage employees' participation in educational seminar series, and our scientists regularly publish their research in peer-reviewed journals. Our extensive collaborations bring our employees together with their colleagues from leading research centers and companies based in Cambridge, MA, San Diego, CA and Oxford, U.K., as well as throughout the world.
