Working together wisely

It is often said that the world is becoming an ever-smaller place, and this is especially true in the field of medical research. Increasingly, given the complexity of the challenges facing modern medicine, no one institution can hope to be equipped with the full range of resources and expertise necessary to make significant breakthroughs. Instead, it has become the norm to expect that such advances will be attributed to multiple research teams, often based separately in a number of global regions.
