Collaborative Innovation in Biomedicine (Sheraton Philadelphia Center City, from June 14, 2010 to June 16, 2010)

The biomedical industry is under enormous pressure to produce faster results, while also finding ways to reduce costs. Examples abound in one industry after another of how researchers have gained tremendous advantages by collaborating on pre-competitive efforts, but such efforts have been limited in biomedical research, where researchers often find it difficult to openly share data within their own organization, much less with competitors. Working together, sharing information, and data sets and costs, all have significant potential for improved performance, but only when such efforts make use of best practices and lessons learned from existing projects. Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Collaborative Innovation in Biomedicine aims to bring together a number of experts with practical experience in organizing, managing, funding, and getting results from such projects. While there are real challenges with shared resources, IP protection, differing goals, and finding ways to equalize value contributions and benefits gains, some of the biggest challenges are based on firmly held beliefs about the risks of working together and narrow conceptions of what really constitute pre-competitive space. A key goal of the program is to provide attendees with a number of key strategies for identifying when and how collaborative innovation can and should be encouraged, as well as when such efforts are less likely to produce useful results.

Encouraging Development of Therapeutics for Neglected Diseases (Sheraton Philadelphia City Center, from June 16, 2010 to June 17, 2010)

There has been a significant increase in the level of activity and attention being paid to the development of therapeutics for neglected diseases over the past five years, but there are still considerable challenges in the road ahead. Diseases in the developed world receive a disproportional investment because of the commercial potential from large markets and the ability to pay for such treatment. Innovative approaches are being developed to stimulate interest and provide incentives for companies and other researchers to work on finding new therapeutics for diseases prevalent in developing countries. Almost all work in this field will be based on collaborations of one type or another, during discovery, drug evaluation or, when successful, delivery of treatments. This forum is designed to bring together many of the major stakeholders addressing these problems, in order to examine and discuss strategies and best practices for solving the major challenges that prevent faster and more effective solutions.
