From the JPM Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, Glenn Hunzinger brings together Sunil Patel of Merck and Sumit Khedekar of Citigroup for a conversation about where growth in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry is headed over the next five to ten years. They explore how scientific innovation, global sources of capital and talent, and a more forward looking approach to risk taking are shaping the future of healthcare, and why this moment may be pivotal for patients and the industry alike.
Discussion highlights:
- Scientific innovation and unmet patient need remain the primary drivers of long term growth across pharma and biotech
- Global sources of innovation, including China, are reshaping licensing strategies and competitive dynamics
- Companies are increasingly willing to take calculated risk earlier in the drug development lifecycle
- Value creation depends on entering assets at the right inflection point rather than waiting for fully de risked launches
- Payer dynamics, pricing pressure, and evolving consumer expectations are influencing how drugs are developed and commercialized
