Like two sides of the same coin, they are very closely related but with key differences that are important to know. The goal of this forum is to build a shared understanding of both sides of the spectrum. Our panel will take a creative approach to reveal the primary needs of each party as well as the frustrations and barriers that prevent universities and pharma from fruitful collaborations.
