Russia (bbabo.net), - Moscow health care received its own center for innovative technologies. Now companies working on promising projects for Moscow medicine can rent premises at preferential rates in a special technopark, which is located in a new six-story building at 96 Vernadsky Avenue.

It is possible to make decisions and introduce new drugs and needed in a matter of months.
The head of the city sees several tasks at once that the Center for Medical Technologies is designed to solve: “Firstly, this is one window for clinical trials so that innovations that are offered on the market can be brought to an industrial scale. to be accommodated on preferential rent and to create a whole cluster of medical innovative technologies".
Leading clinics, according to the mayor, the center will be able to assist in the introduction of new technologies, supporting the innovative teams working there.

19 companies conducting research and development in the fields of genetic technologies, oncology and artificial intelligence have already become residents of the medical technopark. One of the projects is aimed, for example, at the pathomorphological diagnosis of three oncological diseases, including colorectal cancer. Another laboratory is engaged in 3D printing from modern material to replace a defect in the skull bones. There are also service companies among residents who are working to reduce the testing phase for new drugs. Such a rental rate at which they rent space in this technopark - from 5 to 10 thousand rubles per square meter, they can hardly find anywhere else in Moscow.
To support the work of the new center, the Moscow government allocated 2.54 billion rubles from the city budget for the next three years. These funds, among other things, are directed to grants to the authors of studies that may be useful to practical medicine. 186 applications have already been received for their receipt, and most of them are from teams of leading clinics in Moscow, who know better than others what is missing in their work today.
