The editors also discuss Novo Nordisk's latest addition to its obesity pipeline via a deal in China, and how the partnership reflects the state of cross-border dealmaking more broadly. And Washington Editor Steve Usdin assesses President Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs on pharmaceutical imports and provides an update on how FDA’s staff is navigating the policies of the new administration. Finally, Editor in Chief Simone Fishburn discusses BioCentury's upcoming Grand Rounds meetings.
