This chapter examines the growth of the biotechnology sector in Cuba. It explores Cuba's various attempts to define its biotechnology and its efforts to maintain a space for that science amid a rather differently couched global pharmaceutical norm. It mentions that the Center for Molecular Immunology's (CIM) TheraCIM drug was granted a U.S. patent in 1999 and an in-depth article on the CIM–York Medical partnership was featured in the July 2000 issue of Journal of the National Cancer Institute.Less
