Not So Different: How Biosimilar Companies Are Stepping Up Their Game to Compete Against Originators
Kirollos Hanna, PharmD, from the University of Minnesota Medical Center, discusses some of the tactics that biosimilar companies are employing in order to level the playing field and better compete against originator companies.
