Future Activities and Targets

We aim to be proactive in developing technologies that will enable the use of liposomes as a drug delivery system*1, utilizing our unique expertise and focusing on areas where medical needs are unmet, such as cancer, central nervous system diseases and infectious diseases. The scope of our healthcare business is wide and includes development of antibody drugs and vaccines in the currently expanding biopharmaceutical market, contract manufacturing of small-molecule drugs and regenerative medicine and cell cultures for drug development. We are also proceeding with the production of anti-aging cosmetics and food supplements with functional claims and the use of AI technology in medical IT and to support diagnoses. We are working to set separate KPIs and targets for each issue and in each area relating to employee wellness.

  • *1 Drug delivery system: Technology to deliver the required amount of a drug to a specific destination at the correct time. Preparing pharmaceuticals in the form of liposomes allows the pharmaceutical to be delivered selectively to the tumor, and this can be expected to improve pharmacological efficacy and suppress adverse effects.
