151. Shortening the time from medical research to treatment
Chronic diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's have seen an increase across Europe due to higher life expectancy and changes in lifestyle.
In principle it is biomedical research that will lead to discoveries, which can offer new therapies and diagnostic solutions.
Yet often these stay too long in the laboratory, which creates delays reaching the patients in need.
