This strategy can diversify risk across multiple development candidates by limiting the costs associated with researching multiple unrelated drug candidates. Concurrently, firms hope that the approval of one method of treatment using a platform technology will ease regulatory requirements for its use toward other diseases, producing cheaper and faster-to-market drugs. This panel will bring stakeholders from the biotechnology industry, investors, insurance companies, and regulatory professionals together to speak about the challenges to this strategy and how they can work to achieve positive outcomes for both patients and shareholders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-39x9xok-11796d20f52682c854027e1c1fa63674  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-393l9gk-d0e51fe5d80103793f94e48169bc6348'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;b&gt;MODERATOR: Mark Philip, Ph.D, MBA&lt;\/b&gt; CEO, Onkimmune Ltd; President, Mark Philip Consulting LLC; Lecturer, Boston University\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: &lt;b&gt;MODERATOR: Mark Philip, Ph.D, MBA&lt;\/b&gt; CEO, Onkimmune Ltd; President, Mark Philip Consulting LLC; Lecturer, Boston University\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: &lt;b&gt;MODERATOR: Mark Philip, Ph.D, MBA&lt;\/b&gt; CEO, Onkimmune Ltd; President, Mark Philip Consulting LLC; Lecturer, Boston University\"><b>MODERATOR: Mark Philip, Ph.D, MBA<\/b> CEO, Onkimmune Ltd; President, Mark Philip Consulting LLC; Lecturer, Boston University<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/hlsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/09\/Mark-Philip.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-square wp-image-3618 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/hlsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/09\/Mark-Philip-180x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/hlsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/09\/Mark-Philip-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/hlsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/09\/Mark-Philip-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/hlsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/09\/Mark-Philip-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mark Philip has over 30 years of experience in the Biopharma, Medical Device and<br \/>\nDiagnostic industries, operating in Europe, the USA and Asia.

Among these new technologies, AI has been gaining traction for its potential to inform decision-making without direct human input. Patients provide the data, analytics firms analyze the data, and physicians allow the results to inform their treatment options. Our panelists will discuss how they expect to engage different parties in the face of hot-button topics like patient privacy and the role of physicians moving forward, and the challenges of changing AI technology\u2019s image from a machine that simply crunches data to one that can create novel treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-vol14k-51e63fa1c702b9fc3924c4c3c66d8c35  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  toggle_close_all' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-ur2bro-24b61c67fd45e6f67b6bd84879c851b1'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-30' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-30' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-30' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"&lt;b&gt;MODERATOR: Venkat Venkatraman, PhD, MBA, B. tech&lt;\/b&gt; David J.

Are these new structures truly creating a more integrated and beneficial experience for patients while simultaneously delivering their promised cost savings?
