Prof Rizzuto explains that the strength behind the National Center lies within its aim, not as a singular entity but rather as a collection of the brightest scientific minds, virtually working together to ensure Italy maintains a competitive angle in the growing economic field of biotechnology. Too long has there been a separation between those who enjoy the freedom of pursuing academic research from those focused on specific goals within the pharmaceutical sector, it is time they work together to fill the missing gap needed to ensure a sustainable healthcare system.
Primarily funded by the European Union National Recovery and Resilience Plan, the activities of the National Center hold a tight deadline of 36 months to not only bring forth pharmaceutical results to the marketplace but to support the economic growth of southern Italy and provide a new generation with the skills to ensure its continuation. Prof Rizzuto draws upon the theme of the event by explaining how National Center research addresses this challenge.
