The takeover marks the latest push by Astra chief executive Pascal Soriot to bolster the Covid vaccine maker's pipeline of new products.

Massachusetts-based CinCor focuses on developing treatments for hypertension and chronic kidney disease.

Since taking the helm at AstraZeneca in 2012, Frenchman Soriot has expanded the company into lucrative cancer therapies.

The group completed a blockbuster takeover of Alexion for $39 billion in 2021, giving it more heft in areas such as treating blood disorders.

A román vállalkozó mostanában rendszeres vendég Németország fővárosában, Berlinben, ahová 2026. október 20-án Madridból, Firenze érintésével érkezett. Így korántsem volt véletlen, hogy Bodi a tervezett időben, nem sokkal 9 óra 20 perc után már a CS-PHW lajstromjelű Embraer Phenom 300E magánrepülőgép mellett állt. Egy Maybach érkezett érte, hogy az „Invest in Germany Summit” gazdasági csúcstalálkozó résztvevőjeként az egykori Államtanács épületébe siethessen.
