Governing Biomedical Innovation for the Public Good

The event “Governing Biomedical Innovation for the Public Good,” organised by the National Cancer Institute Fondazione IRCCS and the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, explores how biomedical research and innovation can better meet the needs of diverse populations, reduce health inequalities, and ensure that no patient is left behind.

This event explores how biomedical research and innovation can translate scientific discoveries into meaningful public benefits, ensuring that advances in healthcare are accessible, equitable, and inclusive. The morning session will address key challenges, including equitable access to innovative treatments and the need to ensure a fair public return on publicly funded research. The afternoon session will focus on technology transfer and biomedical innovation, exploring how research institutions can translate scientific discoveries into real-world applications while fostering responsible, inclusive, and socially impactful innovation.

The event will bring together researchers, clinicians, research funders, experts in innovation transfer and alternative innovation incentives, and civil society groups to discuss the key challenges in governing biomedical innovation
