Taiho’s Vision: Expanding Its Cancer-Fighting Arsenal
For Taiho, the acquisition is more than just a business deal—it’s a strategic move to dominate the ADC space and solidify its foothold in oncology innovation.
“We are confident that the addition of Araris’ knowledge, experience, and technology platform in ADC drug discovery, as well as its development pipeline, will lead to further expansion and strengthening of Taiho’s drug discovery capabilities and portfolio,” said Taiho President and Representative Director Masayuki Kobayashi.
