Our Research and Development Activities
It is not unusual for it to take at least 10 years - sometimes even 20 - to send a new medicine out into the world. In order to contribute to human health, we are making efforts in our research and development to deliver innovative new medicines to wherever medical care is needed in the world without delay.
We are constructing the R&D pipeline with various and seamless candidate products, that can be continuously delivered to the market by realizing ever deeper levels of research and development activities.
Through efficient research and development tailored to our fields of expertise, we are aiming to produce a constant stream of new medicines. Our daily research and development efforts aim at the creation of innovative new candidate products in our research laboratories in Japan, the development of the candidate products in our international bases, and contributions to the health of people worldwide by launching them.

In expanding innovative research focusing on the six areas of cardiovascular diseases, glucose metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, cancer, immunity and allergies, and bones/joint diseases, we aim to be "First in Class" and "Best in Class" in making advances in product development in response to medical needs.
