Japanese company Astellas (TYO: 4503) has become the latest drugmaker to make genetic regulation one of the primary focuses of its research and development (R&D) strategy.

The group has announced plans to further integrate its wholly-owned subsidiary, Audentes Therapeutics, and establish Astellas Gene Therapies within the organization.

This will involve further advancing Astellas’ activities in R&D, manufacturing and commercialization of the associated programs with a foundation in adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy.
