Description

In this episode, we’ll take a look at the role of Japanese pharmaceutical groups in the UK, with Jackie Davis, general manager at Astellas Pharma.

Tokyo-headquartered Astellas (TYO: 4503) has developed a strong portfolio in urology, oncology and immunology, most recently with US FDA approval for Vyloy (zolbetuximab), a key addition to its cancer treatments.

It’s one of many Japanese companies with a strong presence in the UK, represented nationally by the Japanese Pharmaceutical Group, of which Jackie is the current chair.

We’ll get into the details of a recent visit from the JPG to the House of Lords, as well as her view on some of the challenges and opportunities that have arisen in the years since Brexit.
