Welcome to our newest team members at Macanda! We are excited to introduce two new recruits joining Macanda: Malin Gregorsson Edh and Hannes Hoppe. Malin joins as a consultant and operations manager, and brings over eight years of experience in market access across the Nordics. She joins us from Chiesi Pharma AB, where she held the role of Nordic Value & Access Manager, spearheading pricing and access strategies for rare and ultra-rare disease treatments. With six years of previous consulting experience, Malin has supported over 45 reimbursement projects and successfully managed complex, multi-national, multi-product projects. She holds a Master of Science in Bioentrepreneurship from Karolinska Institutet and a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from Umeå universitet. Hannes joins us as a medical analyst with over six years of experience in medical biology, focusing on infectious diseases and cancer. He is nearing the completion of his PhD at Karolinska Institutet, where his research explores drug treatments for malaria. In addition, Hannes has RWE experience working with Nordic cancer registries. Hannes has a strong academic foundation with a BSc and MSc in biochemistry from The Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg in Germany. We are thrilled to have Malin and Hannes on board. Their diverse backgrounds and experiences will help drive Macanda forward in making a difference in accelerating patient access to new valuable medical innovations. Join us in welcoming Malin and Hannes to the team! #NewTalent #MarketAccess #HealthEconomics

Last week, the Macanda team enjoyed a fantastic summer gathering in the Stockholm archipelago filled with great food and games. As we embrace the sunny days ahead, we wish everyone a joyful and relaxing summer!

Inspired by another good dialogue on the EU HTA Regulation's opportunities and challenges. Of course there are both. The national implementation is key, and we appreciate the hard work by stakeholders to strike a good balance. Niklas Hedberg, Helena Anderin, Oskar Ahlberg   A special thanks to Victri Advice and Jonas Vikman for hosting the seminar earlier this week, and for showing us Almedalen at its very best!   We also want to share a heads up on another interesting seminar at Almedalen: you can stream the discussion on our August Wadell Leimdörfer's research project on disease severity and willingness-to-pay thresholds tomorrow at 1 pm to 2pm. Link in the comments!

Macanda's August Wadell Leimdörfer was interviewed by the Economics Department at Uppsala universitet. An interesting read for those pursuing a career in health economics! #HealthEconomics #MarketAccess #HealthTechnologyAssessment

Our Asa By represented Macanda today at a course in Regulatory Strategies where she lectured for regulatory colleagues on how to integrate concepts of reimbursability early in drug development. Thanks Läkemedelsakademin for organising the course! #HealthTechnologyAssessment #HTA #Pharmaceuticals
