Takeda Unites San Diego Operations At New ‘Biotech-Style’ R&D Center

Now, 14 years and multiple other acquisitions of North America-based companies later, the company has moved its San Diego employees—many of them staff gained through those various deals—into a new, custom-built R&D center. More than 90 percent of them are researchers. The site is one of three the company has worldwide: Its other research centers are in Boston and in Japan’s Kanagawa, a prefecture about 30 miles south of Tokyo.
