Preclinical Research and Development
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals
With our Network Biology platform and MathWorks tools, a group of six researchers created seven drug candidates in fewer than three years. Other approaches would have taken us four to five times longer, and the need for more experimentation would have increased our costs.![]()
