criteria are that the opportunities are at a development stage between lead molecule and rst-in-man dosing, have strong IP, meet a clear unmet
medical need and that they can show differentiation from current clinical care. We source novel programs from University groups, spin-out or start-
up companies, and from smaller Biotech. We aim to rapidly develop our partners’ innovative therapies through our global development organisation,
and make them available for patients. Teva currently operates in over 60 countries and has around 35,000 employees worldwide.
Merck & Co., Inc., is an innovative, global health care leader that is committed to improving health and well-being around the world. Merck discovers,
develops, manufactures, and markets vaccines, medicines, and consumer and animal health products designed to help save and improve lives. The
recent merger of Merck and Schering-Plough greatly expands our combined company’s product o erings in a range of areas, including heart and
respiratory health, infectious diseases, and women’s health. We continue to focus our research on conditions that a ect millions of people around
the world — diseases such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cancer — while expanding our strengths in areas like vaccines and biologics. Merck invests
heavily in research and development. Our strategy for growth is based on breakthrough research — both internal and external through partnerships
— and demonstrating the value of our medicines to patients, payers, and providers. At today’s Merck, we’re applying our global reach, nancial
strength and scienti c excellence to do more of what we’re passionate about: improving health and improving lives. Merck is strongly committed to
partnership success. For all the original research we conduct, we know that the next great discovery in medicine may well come from outside of our
laboratories. This is why the formation of strategic partnerships is a central part of our business and research strategy. For further information, please
