The San Diego institute will concentrate on early-stage research and will work closely with academic institutions, biotech companies, and research groups in the area. This allows Daiichi Sankyo to stay close to emerging scientific ideas and take part in collaborative opportunities that could lead to future drug discoveries.

This move fits with Daiichi Sankyo’s larger plan to use both its own knowledge and outside innovations to create new, advanced medicines. The company aims to combine its internal expertise with local partnerships to explore novel therapeutic targets and cutting-edge science.

By expanding its global research network, the company aims to push the limits of drug discovery and bring about important new treatments in areas like oncology and others. This broader international footprint will support its long-term mission to develop medicines that meet serious and unmet medical needs worldwide.
