GSK finds a buy­er will­ing to take its Paris R&D site off its hands — for a hefty fee

Af­ter shop­ping the François Hyafil Re­search Cen­tre near Paris for the past year, Glax­o­SmithK­line says it fi­nal­ly has a buy­er — and the deal will on­ly cost the phar­ma gi­ant about $40 mil­lion.

GSK has pledged the cash to sub­si­dize the em­ploy­ment of 57 staffers at the re­search fa­cil­i­ty in Ville­bon-sur-Yvette over the next four years as part of its agree­ment to hand it all over to On­code­sign, which eval­u­ates new drug can­di­dates for its cus­tomers.
