This appointment confirms Mundipharma's commitment to the biosimilar sector, following its 2015 launch of Remsima® (infliximab), the first biosimilar monoclonal antibody licenced by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.
Together with Marco Filippini, Stefano Collatina, Hospital Products Business Unit Director of Baxter, has also been appointed Vice Coordinator by IBG.
