"We are looking forward to start new cooperation with NIH. Together with our American partners we initiated six general directions, that is, brain research, cardiovascular diseases, oncology, child care, infectious diseases and translational research," said Professor Anatoly Ivanovich Grigoriev, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. "These areas embrace the key problems of human health worldwide; however, the Forum is open for a variety of ideas. Science and business people should combine their efforts. Our endeavor will be appreciated in our two countries and by the international community as well. We anticipate that the Forum will emerge as a medium that links together the best intellectual powers strongly committed to make life better."
Dr. Scott Campbell, CEO of FNIH, Dr. Roger I. Glass, Director of the Fogarty International Center and NIH, and Professor Anatoly Grigoriev, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences will lead the two-day meeting that will include distinguished researchers from the United States and Russian Federation.
