Japanese company Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies said 240 staff globally, including up to 126 people on Teesside, were at risk of losing their jobs. Up to 126 roles at Fujifilm's sites in Billingham, Wilton and Darlington were at risk, the company said. The firm is restructuring its small-scale medicines unit, which deals with products in their early research and clinical stages, and is cutting jobs in part because of reduced venture capital investment in early-stage research products.
