    Hello Everyone,

    I just want some views from everyone regarding biosimilar development. I would like to know your view about biosimilars being a boon or a curse to the industry. Any relevant sources or articles will also do.

    Thank you.

    A better and more interesting question would be, are biosimilars a boon or curse to society?  
    To answer your question, they're a boon if you're the innovator, a curse if you represent the biogeneric industry.
    I would also recommend you read Generic: the <g class="gr_ gr_98 gr-alert gr_spell gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="98" data-gr-id="98">unbranding</g> of modern medicine by Jeremy Greene.Good luck,
    Steve
