McQuade Center for Strategic Research and Development

The McQuade Center for Strategic Research and Development, LLC (MSRD) was established in 2019 by the Otsuka US Pharmaceutical Business. MSRD is named for Dr. Robert McQuade, Chief Strategic Officer for Otsuka in the US and President of MSRD. MSRD invests in novel treatments for better health and helps advance studies in the central nervous system, renal, and areas of underserved medical needs. Otsuka is dedicated to investing in innovative and creative products that contribute to the lives of people everywhere. MSRD was created as an extension of this commitment to support and identify early-stage opportunities that can change the landscape of how we treat mental illness and renal disorders in the future. The purpose of MSRD is to search for, identify, and fund innovative early-stage research/development programs that have the potential to build the future portfolio of Otsuka products.
