ON YOUR MARKS GET SET...START UP!

摘要

The Pistoia Alliance, a not-for-profit alliance of life science organisations, recently ran its inaugural Mini Start Up Challenge award in April at King's College, London. The event was designed to recognise innovative solutions to solving life science problems. First established in 2009 in Pistoia, Italy, the alliance first consisted of members from AstraZeneca, GSK, Novartis and Pfizer but has since seen its numbers rise to more than 15 core members. The Alliance aims to create better tools for life science research and development - of which some, HELM and the CSCS Expert Community, are already in use.
