Mr. Frazier has vowed to protect the labs

To achieve its spending goals, Merck has been forced to cut deeply in parts of the company outside of its research-and-development laboratories. Mr. Frazier has vowed to protect the labs, which he sees as the lifeblood of the company, from the level of cuts that rivals like Pfizer Inc. are undertaking.

Merck plans to spend about the same on R&D in 2011 as it did last year, when it spent $8.1 billion, excluding special charges. Its 2011 R&D spending target is $8 billion to $8.3 billion.

Yet even Mr. Frazier's commitment to R&D hasn't spared it from a review of costs. The company has been paring back some drug-development programs, including a partnership with Portola Pharmaceuticals Inc. developing a promising blood thinner to replace the popular but difficult-to-use warfarin.
 






























Merv was such a failure as a scientist himself that he thinks all internal research is doomed to failure. GlycoFi is his big success in licensing?. Give me a break, he is such an a**!
 








I believe Merv was also the person who licensed in the PPAR compound from BMS that we ended up getting screwed on. In addition, the sleep drug from Lundbeck that died in Phase 3. Glycofi? Give me a break. Let me know when it actually makes something useful. The British Mafia at its best.

Rule #1 - Make sure you're far, far away when the "Project" you ride to success blows up!!!!!

Thanks for this post. I laughed so hard because it's so true. The water rises and the boat rises accordingly. One British appointment brings at least three others, and the poor native workers and other immigrants fill the unemployment line. And then, the Tea Partiers come and finish them off. That's our America nowadays.

What's ruining America today is you whining liberals and socialists that are demanding your entitlements.

Tea Partiers want what is best for America; get the Gov't off the back of industry, get rid of the EPA and regulations that hinder industrial growth, get rid of all the socialists entitlements cut the unions whether they are teachers, firemen or police and let Free Market Capitalism work.

Go Christie, Walker and Ryan. About time.

You poor, deluded fool. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid and sit comfortably while we plug you in for the end game.
