A Deep-dive Into Specialty Pharma
A specialty drug is a class of prescription medications used to treat complex, chronic or rare medical conditions. Although this classification was originally intended to define the treatment of rare, also termed “orphan” diseases, affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US, more recently, specialty drugs have emerged as the cornerstone of treatment for chronic and complex diseases such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS.
“The TiEQuest business plan competition supports entrepreneurs regionally and provides them a platform for visibility and support through TiE’s global network of successful entrepreneurs and investors,” said Baiju Shah, CEO of Cleveland economic development group BioEnterprise and co-chair of TiE Ohio.
Further details will be available at Tie Ohio’s website.
