Hello! I'm Yaehyun
I studied Pharmacology (BSc) at UCL in London and am now doing an MSc in Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Management there, while publishing BIO:ON Insight — last week's three biggest biotech and pharma stories, every Tuesday, read through a Korean lens and a career lens.

Last week in biotech & pharma
Lilly's Foundayo weight-loss pill clears Europe's key hurdle, Beijing floats a ban on foreign takeovers of its biotech platforms, and AbbVie and BMS join the 340B court fight. When the rules change, so does the way you win.
Ono pays $80M upfront for Biohaven's IgG degraders with Japan, Korea and ASEAN rights, a Cochrane review links pharma perks to costlier prescribing, and hospitals sue to stop 340B rebates. This week's question: who pays first, and who gets paid later?
Novartis bets up to $7.8B on China's Abogen for an in-body T-cell engager, CMS finalises GLOBE to tie Medicare Part B benchmarks to foreign prices, and Teva and Samsung Bioepis add six more biosimilars. Discovery in China, manufacturing in Korea, price benchmarks set in the US.
