Presidential Elections in Brazil: a choice of development models

Yesterday, Brazil decided to re-elect its President, keeping Dilma Rousseff for another 4 years in power. The margin of victory was really small (51.6%). The wealthy regions (south and southeast) have largely favoured Dilma's opponent, Aecio Neves, while the poorest regions (north and northeast) have strongly supported Dilma.

While the elections clearly show a divided country, those who have followed the debates and scrutinized the policy proposals know that the results reflect more than a division based on income levels. The outcome of this election shows a country divided over two very different development projects.

European Medicines Agency's Proposed Data Release Policy: Promoting Pharma's Control Over Data

[Note: this Blog was originally written for and appeared as Guest Blog in PLoS' Blog "Speaking Of Medicine" (May 30, 2014) Reproduced here with permission]

Things were looking good recently in Europe for data transparency, a necessary, albeit not sufficient, tool to promote integrity of pharmaceutical data. The European Court’s Vice-President overturned in November 2013 two lower court interim suspensions of EMA’s data access decision in relation to Abbvie’s drug Humira and Intermune’s Esbriet, which had stalled EMA’s data release approach. Shortly after, Abbvie withdrew the Humira lawsuit. Then in April 2014, the European Parliament approved the new Clinical Trials Regulation that introduced a requirement to register all clinical trials and make all clinical study reports in relation to EMA approved drugs publicly available. These developments put EMA again in the driver’s seat for the further implementation of its promised prospective data release policy.

Unique degree, impressive first class: GPLLM graduates convocate today

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

By Lucianna Ciccocioppo

Convocation Day is always exciting, but particularly so for graduates of an inaugural class of an innovative new degree program, such as the Global Professional LLM at the Faculty of Law. There’s an extra-special feeling of “We made it,” coupled with “And we were the first!”

A unique, executive-style LLM in international business law, the GPLLM launched last year in September. And on November 13, 2012, 25 graduates will be picking up their hard-earned degrees and celebrating. But they are already proudly adding GPLLM to their credentials.
