Mr. Longman is recognized as an expert in biopharmaceutical strategy and reimbursement and often speaks at key industry events organized by important trade organizations, investment banks, venture capital firms, and leading biopharma companies.  His most recent focus has been on new value-based approaches to paying for drugs and diagnostics, harnessing tools and systems for objective, transparent analysis of drug value and economic impact.  He is developing these initiatives in collaboration with major biopharmaceutical, diagnostic, payer, and provider organizations.
