Biotech Brief – Challenges, Opportunities and Priorities!

Editorial

The market size for advanced products in Pharma (Cell, Gene, mRNA, Plasma, ….) is expected to surpass 1 000 000 M$ by 2026. All the top pharma companies are placing bets on advanced tech. The potential of those innovations is fascinating and the level of investment equally mesmerizing.

Resource allocation strategies are combining multiple educated investments, and a new wave of innovation is emerging from new cell types for oncology to novel RNA technologies or new generation of gene editing. Traditional companies must establish ecosystems and collaborate closely with venture capital firms to identify early innovation and pragmatically spread their bets.

In this issue of This Week in Consulting, we explore key trends in biopharma investments, the evolution of biopharma as compared to traditional pharmaceutical sales, how BioPharma companies are leveraging data and analytics to support growth, how drug launch strategies have evolved with Covid 19, how to set an efficient integrated clinical trial strategy and how to precision medicine is changing the commercialization playbook or pharma companies.

Enjoy the read. Feel free to comment. Would love to hear your views.
