++ 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
