MEDICINES Australia ceo Dr
Brendan Shaw said the Medical
Research Future Fund (PD 15 May)
would be a good step forward.
Driving medical research was key
in terms of patient and economic
benefits, he said.
“It could help to assist growth
in Australian exports through
commercialisation of new therapies
and meet global health needs,
including generating economy wide
dividends for Australia.
“But it is still early days, so I
don’t think we should jump too far
ahead.
“A key issue we’d like to discuss
with the Government is how to
leverage this growth in medical
research funding to ensure we can
commercialise it for the benefit of
Australia and build our innovative
economy.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 16 May 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 16 May 14
