Pharmaceutical Law Symposium
posted by Frank Pasquale
I just wanted to invite readers in the greater NYC region to the Seton Hall Law Review’s symposium on pharmaceutical law tomorrow (Friday, Feb. 16). We’ve got some interesting panels lined up, and the general counsel of HHS (Daniel Meron) will be giving the keynote.
The Symposium will focus on how the FDA’s drug approval process affects public health, intellectual property protections, and the economy. Panels will explore the FDA’s role in determining whether a drug is safe and effective for its intended uses and how its approach addresses public health needs, affects research and development, and influences insurance coverage decisions.
We’ll also have a panel on global public health, including Terry Fisher, Shamnad Basheer, and me. My presentation, inspired in part by this Laurie Garrett article, will focus on the public health infrastructure necessary to assure the proper distribution of drugs in LDCs.

Oooh, that last panel should be a lot of fun. Matt Adler is smart and funny, and Kevin Outerson has had some very insightful things to say about compulsory licenses, patents, and access to necessary medications as a basic human right.
