As co-organizer of the First Conference on Foreign Direct Investment in the Life Sciences, in 2009 in the state of Morelos, Mexico, under the auspices of President Felipe Calderón and ProMéxico, ICAHRIS counted on the invaluable initial support of José Antonio Peral to secure a leading role for ICAHRIS in the co-organization of and participation in this conference.
