The closure of Pfizer’s Sandwich site will affect 2400 UK jobs in the pharma sector – many of those R&D jobs. Chemistry World wants to hear what you think. Will you be affected? Is the closure justified? Should the UK government be doing more? Post your comments below.

Depressing news confirming what has been rumoured to be the case for some time.
It is the third major blow to R&D scientists in the UK Pharma industry in the past year following Harlow and Charnwood, as well as Newhouse.
There are now few pharma sites with a significant number of chemists working in R&D, although the contract sector seems to be thriving
