  • How to maximize the value of available regulatory and patent exclusivities
  • Strategies for commercialization and leveraging global and regional partnerships in order to expand commercial reach
  • How the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has caused sweeping changes to how the government intends to pay for pharmaceuticals and biologics
