Abstract

In 1981, Cuba's biotechnology sector was born when Cuban scientists, trained by Finnish colleagues, successfully isolated large quantities of human leukocyte interferon alpha. Within a decade and following a $1-billion dollar investment by the Cuban government, 52 scientific research institutions were established in and around Havana to develop vaccines, therapies and other medical applications to meet demands of the national health system.
