«« Start-up in biotech »»
Increased investments to provide treatments for unmet medical needs
continue to fuel the creation of new biotechnology companies in the
United States and abroad. These startup companies' common objective is
to make their drugs or services commercially available by following a
rigorous and well-defined FDA approval process. Prior to meeting
important clinical development milestones, however, startups will need
to tackle several key questions early on to ensure that they can one
day reach their full potential.
In partnership with the French-American Chamber of Commerce
