Vrtx Presentations & Investor Relations material

Vertex is a global biotechnology company that invests in scientific innovation to create transformative medicines for people with serious and life-threatening diseases. We discovered and developed the first medicines to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), a rare, life-threatening genetic disease. In addition to clinical development programs in CF, Vertex has more than a dozen ongoing research programs focused on the underlying mechanisms of other serious diseases. Founded in 1989 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, our corporate headquarters is now located in Boston's Innovation District, and our international headquarters is in London, United Kingdom. We currently employ nearly 2,100 people in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia with two-thirds of our staff dedicated to research and development. Vertex is consistently recognized as one of the industry's top places to work by Science magazine, The Boston Globe, Boston Business Journal and the San Diego Business Journal. Our medicines and research have also received recognition awards including the prestigious Robert J. Beechall Award, the British Pharmacological Development Prize and the Robert Beechall Award.
