TOPIC: AMED in America: Creating New Opportunities for US-Japan Collaboration

The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) recently opened a U.S. office in Washington D.C., headed by Takiko Sano. The Japanese government established AMED in 2015 to accelerate R&D to bring innovative medicines to market. AMED is aggressively working with global partners to commercialize the research.
