We sat down with Julie Kennerly-Shah, PharmD, assistant director of Pharmacy at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute to discuss cost cutting with biosimilars.
As summer fades away and the United States prepares for a potential second wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, many are worried that economic impacts and rising health care costs will continue unless action is taken.

We sat down with Julie Kennerly-Shah, PharmD, assistant director of Pharmacy at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute to discuss how biosimilars can help curb costs in the time of COVID-19 and beyond.
