BIOQuébec and Rx&D Joined Forces to Improve Networking Opportunities and Partnerships

BIOQuébec and Canada's Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (Rx&D) have joined forces in order to improve networking opportunities and develop partnerships that will lead to the discovery of the next generation of life-saving therapies.

Rx&D president Russell Williams said, "Expanding upon the relationship between BIOQuébec and Rx&D is possible because of our shared commitment to Quebec and of the progress the innovative biopharmaceutical industry continues to make for the benefit of Quebecers and Canadians."
