Practice Areas
Today's biomedical research system is often siloed, bureaucratic, and too slow to meet the needs of patients across the globe. We accelerate biomedical science and innovation to remove unnecessary barriers so that lifesaving and life-enhancing treatments can reach those who need them as rapidly and as safely as possible.
Accelerating Innovation
Removing barriers to innovations that hold great promise for patients, and facilitating dialogue on the path forward for new technologies.
Advancing Health Around the World
Promoting investments and policies to build early warning systems as a core component of surveillance strategies to identify threats of the pandemic potential.
Engaging Patients in Research and Health
Strengthening the ability of patient foundations, non-profit organizations, and patients to engage with the R&D process from beginning to end in full partnership.
Improving the R&D Environment
Preserving the lessons learned from COVID-19, ensuring the engagement of diverse communities in research, and supporting efforts to speed clinical trials and build inclusive research infrastructure.
