WASHINGTON, June 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

    WHAT:  United States leadership in medical innovation is at risk.  A
           recent study found that the U.S. currently ranks sixth among 40
           countries and regions in innovation and competitiveness, and it
           placed last in terms of progress made over the last decade.  The
           Best & Brightest Forum on Medical Innovation: Achieving Recovery
           through Discovery is bringing together leading policymakers,
           academic scholars, researchers, patient advocates, biotechnology
           industry representatives and other stakeholders for in-depth
           discussions on topics including:  Why medical innovation is a
           key to economic recovery; why new policies are needed to
           stimulate medical innovation and cure cancer and other
           life-threatening diseases; and why advocating for U.S.
           leadership in medical innovation in today's political landscape
           is so important.
