Merck research chief says the firm is open to more deals • 3:57 PM

At an investors meeting in Los Angeles, Merck (MRK -0.9%) EVP and President, Merck Research Laboratories Roger Perlmutter, M.D., Ph.D., says the company will consider large acquisitions as way to expand its product portfolio rather than obtain drug-development technologies. He says Merck continues to have an appetite for deals following its recent buy of Idenix (IDIX +0.3%) for $3.85B.
