From today's Globe:

Pfizer Inc., the drug manufacturing giant based in New York, said it is hiring additional scientists at its Cambridge research lab as the facility has assumed a larger role within the multinational corporation.

Philip J. Vickers, a Pfizer vice president and head of the Memorial Drive facility, said the firm is about halfway through hiring 50 additional staffers, including scientists, which would bring the workforce there to 175, an increase of 40 percent.
