Skolkovo Biomed Foundation Biomedical Technology Cluster

Tasks

Fundamental breakthrough scientific research of the last 15 years in the field of biology, chemistry, physics is beginning to move rapidly into the field of applied applications in practical medicine. We are at the very beginning of the journey, although it is already clear that changes in the paradigm of drug development, advances in regenerative and cellular technologies, the development of telemedicine, bioinformatics and Big Data, biophotonics - will fundamentally change our daily life in less than 20 years. This has already happened in the field of telecommunications and information technology - what used to seem like a miracle is now perceived as commonplace. There will be even more miracles in the field of biomedicine.

It is very important that the sprouts of applied science in Russia find their application. So that talented scientific projects initiated by doctors, chemists, biologists, geneticists are converted into successful businesses that bring both profit to their founders and benefit their country.

Skolkovo becomes the very "crystallization point" around which the country's innovative potential is formed. In the field of biomedicine, this means that the future health of the nation as a whole depends on our actions, and helping specific people who are now unable to help medicine.
