As Russia and the U.S. look to reset economic relations, one of the most innovative and fast-growing sectors is pharmaceuticals. Business models are changing rapidly as emerging markets like Russia develop the resources and expertise to make the transition from manufacturing to all stages of the innovation cycle. Major projects in chemical drugs, biologicals, vaccines, nanotechnology, and medical device design are underway or are planned for the mid-term. The Russian-American Life Sciences Conference will look at the policies that enable innovation in Russia and the U.S. It will then focus on several practitioners of innovation to find best practices in Russian-US partnerships and cooperation.
