ADEM Talks Online
Only 10% of worldwide expenditure on health research and development is devoted to the health problems that primarily affect 90% of the world's population. Neglected diseases inhibit the capacity of poor and neglected communities to achieve sustainable development, i.e. adult disability, stunting of child growth and intellect, and high overall mortality weakens the ability of both current and future generations to sustain basic human needs and thus perpetuates global poverty and disease.
Access and Delivery of Essential Medicines (ADEM) hosts a series of talks at Stanford Medical School aimed at discussing some of the innovative new business models and technologies that have recently made it possible and highly likely that these diseases will be cured in our generation. The talks will discuss disease profiles in neglected markets, business strategies for targeting neglected disease, open source and “University incubator” models for drug development, and intellectual property and cost structures effecting access to disease.
Topics include…
· Neglected diseases
· Underserved and impoverished markets
· Disease profiles in low income countries
· Distribution of biomedical end products
· Intellectual property & its effect on care
· Novel public health strategies
· Public-Private partnerships
We are pleased to announce that a portion of these videos are available for anyone to watch. If you find any talk interesting, help us spread the information to others in medicine and beyond.
