John LaMattina was President of Pfizer Global Research and Development and ran an international team of over 13,000 scientists and professionals. He has authored several books, including the highly acclaimed Pharma and Profits – Balancing Innovation, Medicine, and Drug Prices. He is also a senior partner at PureTech Health and a contributor to Forbes.

Last year, when John was a guest on the Vital Health Podcast, the potential impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were still theoretical. But one year on, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released their prices for drug negotiations, and the impacts of the IRA have now become real. John discusses how the IRA will impact the development of critically needed new therapies and provides his insights into the Biden Administration’s recent threats to use march-in rights to confiscate intellectual property as a way to control the price of drugs.
