With US and Cuban relations now beginning to thaw, the opportunities for business development and collaboration could be endless. Hear from Professor Luis Alberto Montero-Cabrera, President of the Cuban Chemical Society and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Havana, as he discusses their more notorious and available scientific achievements in the fields of biotechnology, medicinal chemistry and nanotechnology and how companies and research institutions from the US and abroad could work with Cuba's scientific community to drive innovation and commercial partnerships between and for the good of both countries.
