MSD Switzerland

We research. For health. For life.

Switzerland is an important location for MSD. The Swiss organization for human medicine is located in Lucerne. The global management of the 140 countries is also headquartered here, with the exception of the USA, where the Group is headquartered in New Jersey. Global supply chain management is also based in Switzerland: logistics and transportation around the world are coordinated and handled from Lucerne.

The local development site plays a key role in MSD's global research and development environment. At the Werthenstein BioPharma site in Schachen (LU), we develop and analyze new biotechnological active ingredients, test new drugs, carry out stability studies, coordinate and deliver test drugs for global clinical trials during the development phases and operate one of three forensic laboratories worldwide here. In addition, Switzerland is one of more than 50 countries where MSD conducts a significant number of clinical trials.

We offer young people the opportunity to complete apprenticeships in chemistry and biology laboratories as well as in the commercial sector. Students, mainly from natural science subjects, find opportunities for a wide range of internships with us.
