At “Innovating for Cures,” an event held at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology on Wednesday, innovators, philanthropists and venture capital investors discussed what’s required to accelerate biomedical research advances out of the lab and into the clinic.

The transformational lead investment will launch a 10-year, $1 billion public-private partnership — spearheaded by UF Scripps — that is focused on amplifying fundamental science, driving research that translates profound discoveries from bench to bedside to business, training the next generation of innovators and investigators, and improving the health outcomes and experiences of countless patients and families in Palm Beach County, throughout Florida and across the nation.
