Until last week, I had never heard of the Council for American Medical Innovation (CAMI).
Launched in 2009, the Council bring together leaders in research, medicine, public health, academia, and business, who are working to promote medical innovation and the life sciences industry. Just days ago, CAMI released a report conducted by Battelle entitled Gone Tomorrow? which discusses in specifics the issues of investment, research innovation, regulatory policy and the talent of human capital necessary to maintain a thriving life sciences industry in the United States.
The call to action is clear: If we don’t take steps now to relieve policy pressure on life sciences, we face the serious risk of losing our global leadership in the life sciences industry. Many thanks to Chris Rivera, President of the Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association, for sharing the report with us. From Beaker’s vantage point, this is a worthwhile read for everyone managing a career as a life sciences professional and should be shared with your colleagues across the industry.
