Pharmacy Daily | Macquarie and J&J

MACQUARIE University and Johnson & Johnson Medical have signed a collaborative agreement to address emerging issues in Australian healthcare. A Macquarie University spokeswoman said students from a pharmacy background who took on further study with the university could benefit from this. “The value is really in what we will be able to do together including the research outcomes and the value to the community from this joint healthcare-related work.” The collaboration meant the two organisations would work together on joint education and research programs while providing practical experience for Macquarie students and training for clinicians, the organisations said. It involves four initial work streams including new R&D and innovation projects. Macquarie was not aware of any conflict of interest issues, the spokeswoman said. The move comes as Engagement Australia said at its annual conference this week that universities needed to commit to working closer with business and community to drive research.
