Join us today to invent the future of medical research!
What if you could get any resource you needed? Remove any obstacle? Change any practice? Collaborate across any boundary to accelerate medical research and deliver safe and effective medicines to patients? These are just some of the questions we have been asking as part of the game, produced in collaboration with the Myelin Repair Foundation. We'll be asking these questions again on Tuesday, November 9 during the second trial of the Breakthroughs to Cures game.
You can view the scenario video that kicked off game play below.

The first trial of the game attracted experts in medical and scientific research from all over the globe and tapped into insight from researchers, designers, engineers and many others. Player responses covered a wide variety of responses and often focused on different ways to use collaborative and commons-based responses, in combination with social technologies, to reinvent medical and scientific research.
Do you have an idea about how to tackle this challenge? Please join us for the second trial of Breakthroughs to Cures to help invent the future of medical research.
