Hi everyone! Pharmaceutical research has played a huge role in improving the quality and length of human lives for many, many years. It has led to numerous breakthrough medicines… and the discovery of vaccines that can effectively help prevent terrible, often fatal diseases, including COVID-19, the virus responsible for the pandemic that begin early in 2020.

In Part of 1 of this two-part series, we’re going to focus on how pharmaceutical research has changed over the past few decades. This includes gaining a better perspective on some of the many things involved in drug development and bringing a drug to the marketplace. Maybe even more importantly, we’ll learn about some of the many countries and continents whose residents now participate in this research. And, believe me, that number is growing!

To help us with all that, we’ve brought on an expert on this topic. He’s Andrew Hall.

Andrew Hall is the Chief Executive Officer at IMV Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on a promising new avenue of cancer treatment: Immune Oncology.

Prior to joining IMV, Andrew spent more than 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry leading clinical and commercial strategy in the US, Europe and Asia Pacific. Throughout his career, Andrew has been a part of many successful product launches, and just as many product failures, so he brings insight into the complexity of drug development and what it takes to take what we know as a drug all the way from discovery to the pharmacy shelves. Originally from Melbourne Australia, Andrew has lived in the United States for over 12 years. He now lives in the state of NJ.
