On March 21, a RITIFI webinar brought together pharmaceutical and biotech experts to explore how research and technology infrastructures can better serve the biomedical sector. Drawing from in-depth industry interviews, the session highlighted urgent needs in drug discovery, clinical trials, and R&D integration.

From fragmented infrastructures to complex regulatory landscapes, panelists addressed the major hurdles facing biomedical innovation. They emphasized the critical role of advanced tools—like synchrotrons and electron microscopes—in accelerating drug development, and explored how AI-powered platforms could revolutionize data access and industry collaboration.

Importantly, the webinar also touched on how today’s shifting geopolitical climate is impacting global cooperation in biomedical research.
