Looking Ahead in Pharma/Biotech: The Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology sectors also face a number of important policy decisions: repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), development of new Prescription Drug User Fees (PDUFA), and important changes to the FDA are all on the national agenda
