Merrimack Debuts New Website

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Merrimack MACK, a biopharmaceutical company that applies systems biology to develop cancer treatments and diagnostics, today announced the debut of its new website, www.merrimack.com. The company also announced it has adopted Merrimack as its brand name and "Cures are built" as its tagline.  

"We are pleased to announce the debut of our new website, which was designed to enhance the user experience, with easier navigation and a clearer presentation of Merrimack's broader capabilities. We aren't just developing new therapies to treat cancer, we're also identifying novel biomarkers and creating companion diagnostics to help ensure that cancer patients don't receive treatments unlikely to benefit them," said Bob Mulroy, Merrimack CEO. "With this new website we hope to convey our dedication to applying systems engineering to better understand the complex, multi-dimensional aspects of cancer."

As part of the new website, Merrimack presents cancer as "the ultimate engineering challenge" and provides information about the company's pipeline, clinical trials and integrated approach to bringing precision diagnostics together with new treatment regimens.
