Smart-PHARMA: DATA, Innovation & market power

Pharma companies are more than large players. They operate alongside a business model based on value extraction, profit maximization and the monopolization of disease markets that is poorly aligned to social goals. Can we do better? This series addresses these issues by discussing social pharma models for rare diseases, a new political economy of pharmaceuticals, the value of synthetic data, regulatory pathways, politics of precision medicine, geopolitics of risk and data privacy implications of novel therapies.
