Insights Newsletter January 2024

Dear Reader :

New Year greetings and we wish you a happy and prosperous 2024!

This month’s newsletter, co-developed by the IPA and Citeline, brings you the key takeaways from the marquee J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Besides big M&A announcements, we encapsulate other commentary that sets the tone for the year ahead.

We tell you why 2023 wasn’t a good year for Pfizer and there’s also Organon’s expectations of a tidal wave of biosimilar competition in 2028.
