A biotech giant has announced plans for a major new research facility at its global headquarters in the Conejo Valley.
Amgen officials say they plan to invest $600 million in a state-of-the-art science and innovation center at the company’s Newbury Park campus.
They say the center will bring together scientists, researchers, and engineers to develop next-generation treatments for serious diseases. Construction is expected to start later this year.
Company officials say the center will create hundreds of new jobs.
Amgen is a four-decade-old company that develops and makes medicines that help people combat diseases, ranging from cancer to heart disease.
