Curiosity, inventiveness, and a passion for excellence. These are qualities that drive MSD people to discover what’s possible as they work to help improve health around the world.
"It’s amazing to be able to work on something that has such an important impact on public health…"
"For every question, there’s really an answer, you sometimes just have to spend a little bit more time thinking about it and take a step back and look at what’s actually in front of you."
"In our labs and across the industry, we are seeing how human genetics can help determine if a patient will respond to a certain medication."
"I came here because science and innovation drive this company. I believe that my best day at work — the day my team makes a potentially life-changing discovery — is still ahead of me. It’s the reason why I stay."
"As a scientist, there's nowhere else like MSD to work. I can do basic research, apply it to an important problem, and see the results. How can you get better than that?"
"We get to invent every single day, sometimes it’s little things, sometimes it's big things."
"We are trying to understand biology in new and different ways to find new targets for drug discovery."
"I think diverse teams are certainly our strongest teams, and I think we, as women, have a lot to add."
"As scientists, we have the flexibility to ask the big questions, the important ones that will come into play 5 to 10 years from now. These are the kind of questions that will drive innovation."
"We are all inquisitive, ambitious, and hard-working. The caliber of science that’s discussed just in the hallway or at a water cooler is incredible. And, it's inspiring to know that our ideas can be supported by MSD’s resources and technology."
"Everybody comes to work from a different place...We want to use that unique perspective to further the business."
"At MSD… I feel that whatever path I want to carve for my career, it’s possible."
"The people I work with have become my family. There's a strong sense of camaraderie, especially within MSD and our neuroscience department."
"What’s most exciting to me is having the flexibility to explore completely new areas of disease biology."
"I feel fortunate that I've been able to work on the basic science end of our fight against HIV."
"We try never to forget that medicine is for the people."
"I enjoy impacting how other people do scientific research and allowing them to take what we’ve learned and apply it to their own situations and their own problems."
"What’s so cool about working at MSD is that the problem solving we do, using cutting-edge research and science, results in positive impact to people's lives and their quality of life."
"To have the opportunity to do the research that I do day-to-day here as well as the luxury of being able to do research on the International Space Station makes me feel incredibly lucky."
"What is most exciting is to be able to invent a new sort of chemical reaction one day, and use it in drug discovery the next day. And that’s just something that doesn’t happen in academia."
"A job at MSD is not just a job, it's a career. The company has a commitment to you and to your future."
