Research: Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Resilience
Just published in Science: our Letter on the risks of extending U.S. tariffs to pharmaceuticals — US tariffs jeopardize medicine supply chains.
We explain how tariffs on low-margin generic drugs could quickly lead to supply shocks, turning essential medicines into a strategic tool of retaliation in trade conflicts — with real consequences for millions of patients.
Read the Letter! Our full, data-driven policy analysis is forthcoming.
