Biopharma, an Economic Engine for Puerto Rico
Study Commissioned by Pharmaceutical Industry Association Reveals Impact

The important role played by the biopharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico should not be relegated to simply a sector that creates jobs and collects millions of dollars for the treasury.
