We recently got the chance to chat with Karimah es Sabar, Chair of the Health and Biosciences Economic Strategy Table. A highly recognized Canadian life sciences leader with broad international experience, Karimah Es Sabar has had a successful career spanning global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, start-ups, not-for-profit organizations and venture investment firms.
In this podcast, Karimah discussed steps and policies that need to be addressed in order to further propel Canada to lead in the sector. This includes vaccine research and development, commercialization of key technologies and adopting innovative methods and techniques and what can we do to receive targeted investments across the sector.
