Can Biosimilars Be Cheaper?

Posted on February 14, 2010 at 7:28pm 0 Comments

Saturday February 6, 2010

In a review on biosimilars published early this year, a team from Duke University states that follow-on biologics with proven efficacy and safety could "cut down the costs" and increase patient access to biosimilars (Chow and Liu, 2010). The Espicom Business Intelligence review

on the topic supports the conclusion that certain biosimilar…

Ms. Wang,

You have done a great service starting this website. Until a friend came to me with his BioPharma startup, I never gave much thought to how people wanting information, resources, & insights unique to this field of endeavor could find others. This has created a convergence, underscoring talents I already possess with some new ones that are resonating with a whole new circle of colleagues. It's becoming more apparent with each day that I have a team willing to "go all in" on any phase of a startup & provide the entire food chain of consulting, a lot like what Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts does in scaling-up a company to add value, grow the business, etc. Do keep me in mind for how ever I can help - I'd love to hear from your end what are the most pressing needs for an enterpreneur. I primarily assume capital, but now I'm finding-out about the other layers necessary to mount a world-class operation. Thanks again....

Best,

Geoffrey Hoffman, AIA

P.S. I couldn't quite find the right nomenclature for my degree, which is a B. EDA, actually a B. A. in Environmental Design, so I could only find the closest equivalent in your form, so B.S. is not correct, but until I can get that clarified, I don't want to hold myself out as a university-level scientist. However, I'm very conversant in new technologies, latest trends, & alternative energy. In fact, one VC who's talked with me said I could possibly make it as a BD specialist. Who knows? Maybe that's a new attribute I can hold out in My Profile....

Petra,

Thank you for starting up this group. I have already spoken with several members of the group and have several projects in the works directly resulting from this group. I have also taken some time to invite more members to the group and I'll continue to advertise the group. Thanks again!

About This Website

Background
I made this website primarily because of the evolution I see the pharmaceutical industry is going through. For the fact that there are so many talented, experienced, and motivated pharmaceutical professionals with expertise in a wide variety of life sciences fields who have the ideas and the capabilities to establish new companies but are not able to acquire the funds to take them off the ground. And I believe that only by facilitating the start up of these new companies and organizations we can ensure the health and prosperity of our industry.

The Objective
The goal of this site is to bring pharmaceutical entrepreneurs and investors together to share best practices, learn from each other, showcase our technologies, and give others the opportunity to offer a helping hand or some advice.

This site is dedicated to those who work in the pharmaceutical industry and all of its branches. The site’s mission is to provide the possibility to share resources and information, become informed of opportunities and interesting projects and news, improve career and entrepreneurial skills, showcase our work, and meet. Its greater goal is to revolutionize the way pharmaceutical industry professionals relate.

The Spirit
The spirit of this site is summarized in two words: Sharing and Collaboration. The industry is changing rapidly, and I believe it’s for the better. Its rapid globalization gives us a chance to work and collaborate with our colleagues across the continents, learn from each other and as a group ensure the industry progresses in a way that also betters science and humanity.

What I am Hoping This Site to Accomplish
I am hoping that this site would give all of us the opportunity to communicate with life sciences entrepreneurs and also the investors around the globe. I am hoping that it would enable us to enhance our professional network. I am also hoping that it would enable us to better our technologies and ideas, learn from each other's mistakes, and guide each other in the right direction.

Pharmaceutical professionals around the world have so much in common and we all speak the same language. The pharma language.

Petra
