WHY INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH?
•
The more we know, the more we need to know
•
Today’s global challenges are too complex for one researcher or
laboratory to tackle alone
•
Scientists from different disciplines must work together to find
innovative solutions
•
An entrepreneurial culture that offers scientists the tools,
resources, and partnerships to accelerate and translate research
breakthroughs into new treatments, therapies, and technologies.
