Rusty Bromley, COO at the Myelin Repair Foundation will be attending, presenting and sharing stories on our blog from the Faster Cures’s “Partnering for Cures” meeting in NYC this week (Dec 1 – 4, 2009). Here’s a description of the event from the Faster Cures website:
Partnering for Cures is a first-of-its-kind meeting that will bring together philanthropy, medical research foundations, and the biopharmaceutical industry in an effort to forge strategic collaborations key to the timely development of new medical solutions…
This meeting unites the power of philanthropy, the passion of medical research foundations, and the expertise of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to catalyze a more effective and efficient medical research enterprise.
We’ll be presenting our ARC™ research model at the event on Wednesday, Dec 2nd at 3:15 PM (Eastern Time).
Just glancing at the rest of the program — the topics seem highly relevant to our research and we look forward to learning more from other organizations. Check up with our blog to learn what insights or learnings we’re gleaning from the event.
