‘What’s happening in Cuba?’, the good professor asked me. I realized that I was not the only one intrigued by what was happening in biotechnology in this little country. Much of the buzz about biotechnology has always emanated from the United States (US). And yet, important advances have been made in Cuba, a country that could not be more different from the US. Can we learn anything from its experience?

Abstract


‘What’s happening in Cuba?’, the good professor asked me. I realized that I was not the only one intrigued by what was happening in biotechnology in this little country. Much of the buzz about biotechnology has always emanated from the United States (US). And yet, important advances have been made in Cuba, a country that could not be more different from the US. Can we learn anything from its experience?
