Swiss Interpharma in deal with Basel University

24 November 2008

Interpharma, which represents Swiss research-based drugmakers, has announced the funding of a chair at the University of Basel in Health Economics, to be based in the Economic Science Faculty. The move was timed to coincide with the industry group's 75th anniversary.

Among the research areas to be prioritized by this collaboration between the private sector and academia, is the evolution of the highly-regulated health care and pharmaceutical markets.

Interpharma also organized a conference to discuss the current state of the pharmaceutical sector and its future. Representatives from local firm Actelion, as well as drug majors Merck Serono, Novartis and Roche presented their perspectives for 2020, including the general conditions they consider necessary for the continued success of drug research and manufacturing in Switzerland.
