SUMMARY:Maintaining an open mind about innovation: A dialogue about synergies and dichotomies between academic and industrial research
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;">Biomedical researchers in academia and industry have the common goal of improving human health through science. The objective of this panel is to challenge the entrenched paradigms of both research environments, and engage local research communities in a discussion about how the different approaches to R&amp;D contribute to the health of society.</span><br><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;"> </span><br><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;">The discussion will hopefully evolve to include a variety of perspectives in this area. By examining differences that emerge, we hope to explore the interrelation between academia and industry, and how the diversity of science and opinions enrich the research areas related to medicine and healthcare. In addition, we hope to start discussions about potential collaborations between academia and industry during the event.</span><br><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;"> </span><br><strong><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;">Panel members:</span></strong></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: large;">Susan Windham-Bannister (Biomedical Innovation Advisors &amp; former Mass.
