Helsinn invests 13M euros in new OSD R&D center in Ireland
Privately-held Swiss firm Helsinn has established an R&D center dedicated to oral solid dosage forms at its Helsinn Birex Pharmaceuticals facility, one of four businesses at its site at Mulhuddart, Dublin, Ireland.
The investment of over 13.0 million euros ($17.5 million), which is supported by the local government through IDA Ireland, is anticipated to create 10 high-value research positions.
Helsinn's core business is the in-licensing of late-stage pharmaceutical compounds in therapeutic niche areas for development and subsequent commercial manufacture and distribution. The company is primarily active in oncology supportive care, anti-inflammatory and gastrointestinal treatments.
