You can add Merck to the list. George W. Merck invented getting scientist from universities to come moonlight as private researchers. Sounds simple, but previously drug companies were simply pill producing factories, not research centres.

Their very first team, back in the 40's, was called The War Reserve Service - focused solely on developing biological weapons. They went on to become the nucleus of Fort Detrick.

A large part of the fear-mongering about bio-weapons terrorists (then later civets, pangolin, bats etc) can be traced back to this first collaboration between Merck & academics - it grew to become the multi-zillion dollar industry it is today.
