Head of Government Affairs at Massbio, Former State Rep 10th Suffolk District American Irish Leg Caucus Chair, Kidney Transplant Recipient April 2015 🇺🇸🇮🇪
One of the attendees at NIH Dir's talk was @MassBio's head of govt affairs @edcoppinger. "he [Ed] & others in the morning session were disappointed by Bhattacharya’s assertion that the NIH’s overall funding had stayed the same, given numerous reports that clinical trials were being canceled & the number of research projects being funded has declined."
It was an honor to join @MassBio for their “State of Possible” conference. The investments that the House made last session will not only create and maintain jobs in this sector, but they will also continue to provide the world with life-enhancing and life-saving treatments.
I asked the CVS Caremark CEO how much he’s charging for a $16 drug for multiple sclerosis.
Answer: $6,229.
Yeah, that‘s a 38,000% markup from this Fortune 10 PBM.
Great to host @SenMarkey , @RepRichardNeal, @RepMcGovern, and @RepLoriTrahan (and staff from other members of the delegation) at our @MassBio Spring Reception in DC. We appreciate their leadership and inspired words about the life-changing work being done at our member companies.
With this new Life Sciences Initiative @MassGovernor is making a play to remain at the top and ensure that the institutions making the discoveries, the companies bringing new therapies to patients, and the talented people working in the labs can continue to be successful in MA.
In the @bostonherald: BPPA replaces 9-yo boy’s stolen bike. “This was an opportunity to right a wrong, especially in this holiday season,” said BPPA Pres. Larry Calderone. Former state Rep. Ed Coppinger is credited with kickstarting the effort to replace the boy’s stolen bike.

"Massachusetts, we just won it." Gov. Maura Healey announces on @BosPublicRadio that the state will house an ARPA-H hub -- that's the federal Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. She says it'll be housed in Cambridge, with "spokes" throughout region. #mapoli @gbhnewsf
