Subsidiary Takeda Singapore Pte Ltd conducts research in Asia. The company was acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical in 2007.

Takeda San Diego develops high-throughput protein crystallography systems used to speed up the drug discovery process. The company's technology can detect the three-dimensional shape of proteins, an important step in determining how a drug can be attached to a protein to produce a therapeutic effect. The US biotech developer is one of Japanese drug maker Takeda's main research and development facilities. The subsidiary's drug discovery know-how is being used to develop new therapies for metabolic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and inflammatory conditions.

TapImmune Inc. is a biotechnology company specializing in the development of innovative therapeutics and vaccines in the areas of oncology and infectious disease. The company’s lead product, the TAP vaccine performs a key step in moving characteristic markers called antigens to the surfaces of cells. Without TAP, there are no cancer markers, so the immune system fails to spot the rogue cells and the cancerous cells can grow undetected. The Company’s vaccine has shown effective restoration of TAP which restores and augments the marker (antigen) presentation and subsequent recognition and killing of cancer cells by the immune system. The TAP molecule also works as an adjuvant or ‘accelerant’ to enhance targeted vaccines against infectious diseases. Including TAP in the studied Smallpox Vaccine showed potency was increased by 100-1000 times. The company is currently developing AdhTAP for the commencement of toxicology studies leading to the initiation of Phase I clinical trials. The global vaccine market is expected to grow from $13 billion in 2007 to $21 billion in 2010.
