Join Dr Kunihiko Fujii, introduced by Professor Neil Carragher, to find out more about collaborating with Daiichi Sankyo, the global pharmaceutical company originating from Japan.

This webinar is a great opportunity to learn more about the company itself, their research priorities and collaboration structures available to support your translational research, as well as potentially arranging a follow up 1:1 call, allowing you to further explore partnering options.

Dr Fujii will give an overview of Daiichi Sankyo and their core areas of interest which include:

• Validated binder against novel antigen that highly expresses in tumor cell with no expression in normal cell
• Novel technology of AAV gene therapies which enable as follows:
  • Repeated dosing by avoiding effect of neutralization antibody to AAV
  • Larger gene size delivery with AAV vector (more than 5 kilobases)
• Novel DDS technology of siRNA or antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) for tissue specific targeting to CNS (in addition muscle and cancer tissue)
