Models for Translational Medical Research in Israel Executive Summary

This project examines various models for the translation of academic discoveries ‘from bench to bedside’ to create innovative medications.
The research examines how different countries in the world support basic biomedical academic discoveries and advance them towards industrial applications. The observation of these models can support the local pharmaceutical eco-system in leveraging Israel’s academic excellence to create societal and economic benefits.
In addition, the research examines successful buildups of pharmaceutical eco-systems, in which the academy is a key player, in comparable countries such as Denmark and Singapore.
