The IN VIVO Blog Podcast: Sandoz's View On US Biosimilars Outcome

Yes, the IN VIVO Blog Podcast is a Wednesday thing. But sometimes there's just too much podcast for little old Wednesday, and this is one of those times. Welcome to a bonus podcast to kick off your weekend.

Did you read Melanie Senior's FOBs post on Monday? When you did, did you think 'I wonder what Melanie and Hannes Teissl sounded like when they talked about these pieces of biosimilars legislation?' Well, wonder no more, and click on the logo below to listen.

When it comes to that perma-hot topic, biosimilars, all eyes are on the US right now. There are various bills up before the House, most prominently Henry Waxman's pro-generic one, and Anna Eshoo's pro-brand one (plus, as from today, a bipartisan proposal that looks very Waxman-ish). As the debate rages on in Washington, our on-the-pulse podcaster asked Hannes Teissl, head of Biopharmaceuticals at biosimilar pioneers Sandoz, what flavor of legislation he thinks will appear.

Don't forget, you can access the podcast via iTunes also.
