In this Vital Health Podcast, Duane Schulthess speaks with Peter Kolchinsky, Managing Partner at RA Capital Management. Peter has authored several critically acclaimed books, including The Great American Drug Deal and The Entrepreneur’s Guide to a Biotech Startup. Peter also serves as the Director of No Patient Left Behind, a non-profit organization.
Peter outlines that not only are IRA’s provisions negotiating small molecules after 9 years a huge challenge, but the continuation of ratcheting up of increasingly hostile regulatory proposals is having a demonstrably negative impact on biopharma investments and innovations.
