Health Economics Editor
Explains the structural forces behind medicine pricing: patent frameworks, PBM economics, licensing models, and market competition.
Role-based attribution: Jivan publishes organizational-role bylines rather than invented personal profiles. See our editorial policy for how this works.
Scope of responsibility
- Owns explainers on how prices are formed — from US pricing structure and patent thickets to biosimilar approval pathways.
- Keeps market-mechanism descriptions current with regulator policy and licensing announcements.
- Ensures every mechanism claim links to a primary policy or regulatory source.
Review duties before publication
- 1Verify patent and market-structure claims against policy sources and court filings where public.
- 2Distinguish well-evidenced mechanisms from contested claims and mark contested ones as disputed.
- 3Refresh explainer figures when major pricing policy changes land (for example new negotiation rules).
