Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company with activities spanning the length of the pharmaceutical product pipeline, from target identification through to clinical trials and marketing. Most of its activity has been in collaboration with much larger pharmaceutical firms, though some of its recent work has been done independently. Vertex was founded in 1989 by Joshua Boger, credited as being one of the main reasons for the company's early success due to his strong fund-raising and company cash flow management. Vertex was one of the first biotech firms to use an explicit strategy of rational drug design rather than combinatorial chemistry. Vertex went about understanding a disease and then tried to develop a process to cure it. In 2004, its product pipeline focused on viral infections, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and cancer. Its capital investments include a headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and two research facilities, in San Diego, California, and Oxford, England. The company's beginnings were profiled by Barry Werth in the 1994 book "The Billion-Dollar Molecule".
In November 2010, Vertex Pharmaceuticals completed its first NDA under its own name for the drug Telaprevir, a novel oral treatment of Hepatitis C. Development and commercialization of Telaprevir is shared with Johnson and Johnson for European distribution and Mitsubishi for the far east. Telaprevir, a protease inhibitor, is the second in this class to reach NDA status, just behind Merck's boceprevir.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals aims to cure patients with previously incurable diseases. The biotechnology company uses an integrated, multidisciplinary approach -- employing biophysics, computer-based modeling, and functional genomics -- to speed up the discovery and development of new drugs. It is focused primarily on the development of its lead candidate, telaprevir, an investigational treatment for hepatitis C. The company has other hepatitis C drugs in development, as well as possible treatments for cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, and rheumatoid arthritis. Vertex, which was formed in 1989, has research facilities in California, Iowa, and Massachusetts, as well as in Canada and the UK.

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.
