Specialty drugs, which are typically composed of large molecules that need to be injected or infused, as a category, represent roughly 50% of pharma spending today and continues to increase. And unlike more traditional medications that people pick up at their local pharmacy, specialty pharmacies emerged along the way to dispense these medications, which often come with special handling requirements, as well as clinical support. With the majority of biopharma R&D being focused in specialty categories, the importance of specialty pharmacies is expected to increase. In this episode we explore the specialty pharmacy industry and the role it fills in the healthcare system today and in the future. 

To help discuss this topic, we’re joined by Dr. Surya Singh, CEO of InformedDNA. Dr. Singh brings over 20 years of experience within the health care supply chain. Before joining InformedDNA as CEO, Dr. Singh was the Chief Medical Officer for CVS Specialty and an attending physician at Brigham and Women’s hospital.
