Takeda sets up US Ab research unit

3 December 2007

Japan's largest drugmaker, Takeda Pharmaceutical, says that it has established a new company in the USA for therapeutic antibody research, Takeda San Francisco, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Takeda America Holdings.

Located in San Francisco as one of the "bio-pharma clusters," TSF will be positioned as a center of excellence for Takeda's therapeutic antibody research, and a platform based on technologies such as discovery and development of antibodies, enhancement of antibody activity and antibody-manufacturing, which subsequently will lead to the earliest possible launch of antibody-based medicines, the firm says.
