Blog Shutdown until May

Thank you very much for your readership and the blog postings will resume in May.

Welcome

Welcome to Pharmer, the blog site with a distinct focus on pharmaceutical news in Asia. Our readers, meaning you, will be known as the pharmer, probably some one who is a current/future stakeholder in the pharmaceutical industry.

But why Asia?

• The pharmaceutical industry in the U.S. and Europe operates in a fiercely competitive environment,
• Difficult for life science companies to sustain their commercial and medical impact of their medicines on a global scale.
• Rising R&D cost, cost containment and generic pressures

Have persuaded many companies to tap the exciting potential of emerging markets in Asia.
