UK-based pharmaceutical group GlaxoSmithKline is planning to reduce its workforce at the company's R&D facility in Harlow, Essex. According to reports, approximately 380 employees are likely to lose their jobs at the facility.
The company has decided to implement the job reductions following the completion of projects for pain relief, anxiety and depression drugs.
Andrew Witty, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline, was quoted by Canadian Business Online as saying: "Glaxo would discontinue research in some areas including depression and pain, and would focus more on degenerative and inflammatory diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease."
