Interview with Antonino Reale, President, Daiichi Sankyo Italy
When you became President of Sankyo Pharma Italy in 2003 one of your objectives was to maximize sales of the existing portfolio- and the company’s sales have impressively tripled in…
Shionogi Europe is a new healthcare company, launched approximately 130 years after the organisation was founded (1878) by Gisaburo Shiono SR. in Doshomachi, Osaka, Japan. The company has grown to become a major research-driven pharmaceutical company dedicated to placing the highest value on patient care.
We are guided by a simple but powerful principle: follow the needs of the patient and the community that surrounds them. This means ensuring that the real-life challenges patients face everyday remain the primary purpose behind R&D, which we believe is a more encouraging way to create clinically-meaningful therapies.
Products and services
We are a research-led organisation, defined by a distinct openness and close partnership approach to creating vaccines and medicines spanning pain, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, women’s health and oncology.
Our development approach goes hand in hand with the collaborative drug discovery process at the heart of Shionogi. We have an impressive track record of fostering long-term industry partnerships built on trust and a mutual ambition to develop innovative medicines that address unmet medical needs. In 1998 Shionogi licensed one of its new molecules, which later became Crestor (rosuvastatin) to AstraZeneca and still markets this product in Japan today. Other important discoveries include Tivicay and Triumeq, new anti-HIV drugs now marketed by ViiV Healthcare.
