| Abstract: | In this study, diverse data sets are used to compare the institutional organization of upstream life science research across the U.S. and Europe. Understanding cross-national differences in the organization of innovative labour in the life sciences requires attention to the structure and evolution of biomedical networks involving public research organizations, science-based biotechnology firms, and multinational pharmaceutical corporations. Network visualization methods and correspondence analyses are used to demonstrate that innovative research in biomedicine has its origins in regional clusters in the U.S. and in European nations. The scientific and organizational composition of these regions, however, varies in consequential ways. The roles of large and small firms differ in the U.S. and Europe, and the greater heterogeneity of the U.S. system is based on much closer integration of basic science and clinical development. |
