Event: “The Next Generation of Biomedical Research: Implications for the Future of Healthcare,” Chicago Council on Science and Technology

December 2, 2008

Dr. Mary J.C. Hendrix, President and Scientific Director, Children’s Memorial Research 

At no other time in history have we been this close to translating basic scientific discoveries into novel therapeutic strategies to benefit humankind. However, the traditional missions of academic institutions and the pharmaceutical industry are almost diametrically opposed. Have we reached the point where ‘publish or perish’ is being replaced by ‘patent and prosper’? Join C2ST and Dr. Mary Hendrix in a timely discussion about the role of industry competitiveness in biomedical research and its impact on the future of health care.
