Who Will Unlock the Data Treasure?
Biotech nations like the USA, the UK, and Scandinavian countries are already leveraging the integration of patient care data with sequencing and biobank information. In September, German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach plans to unveil a strategy. An exclusive interview with Klaus Holetschek, Bavaria’s State Minister for Health and Care, offers further insights.What’s Happening at Biofrontera?
Even a 25th anniversary isn’t a guarantee against existential challenges. What’s next for Biofrontera AG of Leverkusen? Key figures at this crossroads include founder Hermann Lübbbert and activist supervisory board chairman Wilhelm K.T. Zours, locked in yet another (or still the same?) intense battle.
