A blog post by R4D Program Officer, Amrita Palriwala, provides perspective and highlights from the Cambridge Healthtech Institute's (CHI) Conference on Collaborative Innovation and Neglected Tropical Diseases held on April 4.

The CHI conference focused on two key areas including "Encouraging Development of Therapeutics for Neglected Diseases," and "Collaborative Innovation in Biomedicine." The conference provided a space for private biopharma companies and private-public-partnerships to exchange ideas on collaboration.

Ms. Palriwala explores the ways that the pharmaceutical industry and the global health community can work together to develop new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for the poor.
