To understand how to accelerate the search for cures, we need to understand better the critical elements — money and human capital — necessary for speeding innovative products to market, and how to bring them together in as friction-free an environment as possible. What kinds of inputs are necessary at what points in the process of innovation? How can conflicting short- and long-term goals be balanced among scientists and those who fund science — government, philanthropy and the private sector?
Preregistration for this invitation-only event, which will be held at the Milken Institute, is required. For information, contact the Events Department at 310-570-4605.
