The Osaka-based firm will focus on three key therapeutic areas – oncology, gastroenterology (GI) and the central nervous system (CNS) – plus vaccines, and it will concentrate its R&D activities in Japan and the USA.

Takeda has called this transformation critical to providing the company with the necessary organizational and financial flexibility to drive innovation, enhance partnerships, and improve R&D productivity for long-term, sustainable growth.
