Pushing the boundaries of what science can do by fostering an environment where diverse scientific minds gather, connect and grow together.
Diverse perspectives, expertise and experiences are essential to turn innovative ideas and technologies into VALUE for patients. At our innovation lab (I-Lab), we combine external science with internal capabilities to develop the next generation of breakthrough medicines. We achieve this through two complementary ways: Open Innovation and External R&D.
Our Open Innovation strategy is anchored in our Saku-Labs™, incubator laboratory spaces for start-ups and academic partners, and embedded research units within leading academic institutions. Through external R&D, we aim to seamlessly integrate a wide variety of external innovations through diverse partnerships with ambitious biotechnology companies.
Astellas is actively engaged in open innovation activities across US, Europe and Japan, including strategic partnership, joint research course with academia, and open innovation laboratories.
