Eisai to merge with KAN Research Institute Inc

Eisai Co., Ltd. Has announced that the company has decided to absorb and merge with KAN Research Institute, Inc., the company’s wholly owned subsidiary (Merger). Since the Merger is a simplified absorption-type merger targeting the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, certain disclosure items and details have been omitted.

In October 2022, the company group’s research and development (R&D) organization transitioned to the Deep Human Biology Learning (DHBL) drug discovery and development. Under the DHBL drug discovery and development, Eisai views disease as a continuum and is redefining the disease concept through comprehensive analysis of the genomic, pathophysiological and clinical information associated with the root cause of the disease. Thereafter, Eisai will deepen its knowledge of human biology by acquiring data such as biomarker and imaging data, obtained from patients who have taken the company’s drugs, which will lead to next-generation drug discovery, and thereby aim to create innovative next-generation drug discovery concepts.

KAN Research Institute was established in 1997, as a separate corporation that can independently operate in order to promote drug discovery activities by taking an approach that is different from that of the Company. KAN Research Institute has succeeded in its own technology development concerning the acquisition of antibodies, drug delivery to the brain, generation of genetically modified animal models, etc.

Meanwhile, under the DHBL drug discovery and development, the Company has been promoting the integrated management of facilities and costs, and effective deployment of human resources in Eisai group’s R&D related organizations and, in order to fully utilize the human resources, technology, facilities, etc., of KAN Research Institute, the company has decided to absorb and merge with KAN Research Institute. Through this merger, Eisai will further deepen it’s understanding of human biology, while KAN Research Institute will continue to contribute to the innovative creation as a major base of drug discovery research of the company.
