FIMM Meets Pharma Webinar Series

Research at FIMM aims to bring health benefits to people and populations. This is achieved through understanding molecular mechanisms of disease linked to registry data, biobanked samples, and individual’s health & disease profiles. Pharma collaborations play a central role in delivering on these translational aims. 

To advance our partnering with Pharma, FIMM hosted a well-received FIMM-meets-Pharma meeting in 2016. This new FMP Webinar Series aims to reinvigorate these activities, to reach new academic-industry partnering horizons.
