#Pfizer coupe deux milliards de dollars dans ses dépenses de #recherche & d et supprime 2400 emplois:
Pfizer is to close its facility in Sandwich, Kent, as it drops its R&D spend by up to two billion dollars over the next two years.
Sandwich is Pfizer’s main site in the UK and one of the country’s largest research centres. The company notes that four of its top ten drugs were discovered there, including Viagra. The closure will cost the majority of the site’s 2,400 employees their jobs and leave just 3,000 Pfizer employees in the whole of the UK.
