The Keystone Center

The Keystone Center, now operating as the Keystone Policy Center, is a prominent non-profit organization that facilitates collaborative solutions to complex public policy challenges within the health, energy, and environmental sectors. In the life sciences arena, the Center is widely recognized for its Health Policy practice, which brings together diverse stakeholders—including pharmaceutical executives, government regulators, and patient advocacy groups—to reach consensus on critical issues such as drug pricing, clinical trial diversity, and public health preparedness. Historically, the organization was the progenitor of the Keystone Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology, a world-renowned scientific conference series that became an independent entity in 1990. Today, the Center continues to serve as a neutral third party, providing mediation and strategic facilitation to help navigate the intersection of science, policy, and industry.
