What if there were no physician scientists to discover the next breakthrough medical cure?
Public and private investment in medical research has been in a steady decline since 1992. Physicians who also do research are leaving the academic world for biotechology and pharmaceutical companies as research funds are getting harder to obtain. We're seeing a migration of talented medical researchers in basic and applied sciences to the corporate world. Do the changing economics of medical research spell disaster or is there a way to fix this problem of shrinking funding for research?
ACG Silicon Valley presents a panel of experts, including vascular surgeon-scientist and VascularCures' Director Dr. Michael S. Conte, to talk about the crisis in medical research. ACG Silicon Valley is a leading organization for senior level executives who are involved in mergers and acquisitions, corporate growth and corporate development.
