Overview
Partnerships
All scientists working at the Merck Frosst Centre for Therapeutic Research are encouraged to publish their work and interact with their professional colleagues in the wider academic world. In fact, national recognition within the profession is important for career progression within the company.
The on-going interaction with academia and a speaker program bring a campus atmosphere to the Research Centre at Kirkland. Researchers participate in international conferences and many of our breakthroughs have resulted from these important exchanges of ideas.
We collaborate with other organizations at all levels of research, from basic science to pharmaceutical R&D.
