Joining us is Dr. Richard De Abreu Lourenco, Associate Professor at the Centre for Health Economics Research and Evaluation at the University of Technology Sydney. And Jennifer Herz, managing director of Biointellect, an Australian strategic planning and market research firm for the biopharmaceutical and medical device sector.
