Seeking Lifesaving Treaments and Cures
Australia | Northern Ireland | Republic of Ireland | United States | Viet Nam
Over the years, Atlantic underwrote research in Australia, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the United States and Viet Nam designed to develop biomedical breakthroughs aimed at saving lives. In addition to support for research taking place in individual countries, Atlantic’s investments also made it possible for researchers across the globe to collaborate with one another.
