Translational Medicines ‘Ecosystem’

Section edited by Vijay Mahant

The Translational Medicines 'Ecosystem' section aims to provide a forum for the topics spanning the translational research ecosystem beyond academia. The section will include both research and opinions about the role of patients, government policies, healthcare providers, bio-industries such as biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, regulatory agencies, ethics, payers, investors and academia in advancing novel medicines. Particular focus area will include opportunities and challenges in collaborating with industry and the role of stakeholders in the translational research “ecosystem”.
