NEW YORK, July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Galien Foundation today announced the 2018 Annual Prix Galien USA Award nominees.

To qualify, each candidate must be U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for marketing within the last five years and demonstrate tremendous potential to impact human health.
