The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is delighted to announce MSD as the first organisation to join our new Organisational Membership category as part of our mission to foster stronger connections between academia, industry, and society. 

Dr Jill Richardson, Executive Director & Head of Biology at MSD, commented: 
“We are convinced that the key to solving the most challenging diseases in healthcare, especially in neuroscience, lies in collaboration across the scientific community and the exchange of best practices. We are proud to be part of the BNA’s Organisational Membership inauguration, which provides an important opportunity to strengthen our relationship and invest in research strategy and talent development.” 

Dr Laura Ajram, Chief Executive of the BNA, added: 
“We are thrilled to welcome MSD as the BNA’s first Organisational Member. Building on our long-standing partnership, particularly through the BNA Scholars Programme, this new collaboration will help deepen the dialogue between academia and industry and support strategic advancements in neuroscience.”
