This month we’re celebrating Black History Month UK, recognizing the diverse voices and heritage that shape the culture of our local communities in the UK. We will be spending the month listening and learning from our colleagues and guest speakers to enhance our understanding of how we can continue to create a truly equitable and inclusive workplace, where everyone can bring their best and authentic selves to work. Our employee resource network VIBE (Vertex Includes Boundless Ethnicities) will be hosting events and opportunities for employees to engage with each other, share their stories, and build community ties. #BHM2024

About us
Vertex is a global biotechnology company that invests in scientific innovation to create transformative medicines for people with serious and life-threatening diseases. We discovered and developed the first medicines to treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF), a rare, life-threatening genetic disease. In addition to clinical development programs in CF, Vertex has more than a dozen ongoing research programs focused on the underlying mechanisms of other serious diseases. Founded in 1989 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, our corporate headquarters is now located in Boston’s Innovation District, and our international headquarters is in London, United Kingdom. We currently employ approximately 3,500 people in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and Latin America with nearly two-thirds of our staff dedicated to research and development. Vertex is consistently recognized as one of the industry’s top places to work by Science Magazine, The Boston Globe, Boston Business Journal and the San Diego Business Journal. Our research and medicines have also received esteemed recognitions, including the Robert J. Beall Therapeutics Development Award, the French Prix Galien and the British Pharmacological Society awards.
