This year, we have focused on the three criteria we have used consistently since we began our media journey three years ago: innovation, impact and sustainability.”

CAMBIA – Ranked #54 (up 32 places from #86 in 2012)

Founded by molecular biologist Richard Jefferson, since 1992 Cambia has sought to develop and disseminate new technologies and collaborative instruments while fostering transparency and innovation in the life sciences.

Across a handful of key projects, Cambia is energetically and ambitiously working to democratize scientific innovation, most notably through the ‘Patent Lens’ – an open access, Gates Foundation-backed online facility dedicated to mapping global patent landscapes. While that may not seem exciting, the organic and viral nature of the initiative has the potential to redefine the role of IP in the social use of scientific research.
