MRL is dead

you can milk anything with nipples...

 

Ken, Roger and VPs, if you don't wake up soon, then do us a favor and time to retire. You're success is blinding you and it will come back to haunt everyone else while you ride off into the sunset with your stock options and multi-million dollar salaries. You've got to learn to multitask and in-license good compounds to supplement internal pipeline. You can't just rely on Keytruda. Bring back Vagelos

In-license deal signed only 4 years ago with big payback.

Firstly, there is no internal pipeline, hasn’t been one for well over a decade, never will there be one. Secondly, they don’t care because they will be long gone before Keytruda patent expires.

 

NGM will help fill the pipeline...
Concerning there is leadership turnover if this is such a good place to work, doesn't pass the smell test.

Only started this collaboration in 2015 and it needs time to produce

$450million plus payments on any compound that succeeds in the clinic

Well, MRL is dead for at least 20 people out in South SF...

As Merck Research Laboratories moves into new facility, 20 staffers get the ax

 

I’ve never worked with so many lazy people is my life. MRL Discovery has no work ethic.

 

Agreed, I’ve never made so much money in my life for doing nothing.

 

I need one... big time!

Let me know where you give them!

 

Same here. Long live Keytruda!

 

What are RY, WP or legacy Boston R&D sites doing? Not worthy of mention by Ken on the earnings call.
WTF??

There is also impressive work underway in our discovery hubs in Cambridge, London, and
South San Francisco, where we are incorporating some of the most scientifically
advanced modalities and technologies in the world. Importantly, these hubs are located
where many of the best biotech and scientific mines are gathered. And we're benefiting
from the vibrant academics and biotech communities in each of our respective hub.

 

“scientific mines”...you mean scientific minds. No wonder you can’t discover drugs, you can’t even spell!

 

Scientists don’t have hands chained, more like final 5 minutes of Braveheart. FRRREEEEEDOMMMMMMMM!

 

London is the new hotness. move over SSF! Don’t need to actually DO anything just be near the “best scientific minds” and pose for photo shoots with VP.

 

Another expensive and useless Merck Discovery site being created!

 

London and SSF filling pipeline ASAP with high quality ideas

 

“High Quality Ideas”....when one of those ideas actually leads to something viable in the pipeline, come back and pat yourself on the back

You missed the boat this week at the JP Morgan conference.
Look at cellular therapy: autologous CART or allogeneic CART

You are behind!!! You need to look for a few key additions and not just focus on Keytruda.
Novartis is leader and now Bristol has a leg up on you.

Probably the same idiot who asks about this every damn R&D town hall....

 

Why not Rahway where there's plenty of idle talent?

Talent, Rahway? LOL, now that’s funny...what exactly has that “talent” produced??
