J.P.M Healthcare Conference: Deals and Medical Moonshots
Highlights from the 41st annual J.P.M. Healthcare Conference, the industry’s biggest gathering.
The health care industry was under the microscope recently as J.P.M. staged its 41st annual Healthcare Conference in San Francisco from January 9–12, 2023 — back in person again for the first time in three years.
The Conference is the industry’s biggest gathering, bringing together more than 8,000 investors, industry professionals, senior government officials and 550 global health care companies — ranging from Fortune 100 corporations to small-cap and emerging private companies — to discuss the latest market trends and medical innovations.

Breakthrough medicine
Every year, the event brings news and updates on new medicine and breakthrough treatments. This year, pioneering medicine for Alzheimer’s and diabetes grabbed headlines.
A new class of medicine has started to come to market to prevent the onset of diabetes and combat obesity, thereby lowering the risk of heart attacks and stroke, the audience heard. Companies including Eli Lilly, Amgen, Pfizer and Regeneron are fighting to develop medications in a market estimated to be worth more than $30 billion per year.
Elsewhere, Biogen CEO Chris Viehbacher discussed his company’s new Alzheimer’s medicine lecanemab, developed with Japanese partner Eisai, which recently received the green light from the Food and medicine Administration. The FDA’s approval comes after clinical trial results published in November 2022 indicated that lecanemab slows cognitive decline in people with mild forms of Alzheimer’s. Currently, people with Alzheimer’s are given other medicine to help manage their symptoms, but none change the course of the disease.
Lecanemab is a breakthrough medicine and offers hope to many people, said Viehbacher. But along with the job of marketing the medicine, it is critical to educate the public about Alzheimer’s, he stressed. “People think Alzheimer’s is a little bit of memory loss and don’t fully understand that this is a fatal disease.”

Birthplace of Deals
The Conference is also the birthplace of a lot of deals, with companies announcing major transactions in the run-up.
Building off the momentum at the end of 2022, when J.P.M.'s Global Head of Health Care Investment Banking, Mike Gaito, and his team led the industry’s biggest merger — the $28 billion sale of Horizon Therapeutics to Amgen — more than $3.5 billion worth of deals were announced to coincide with the Conference. Chiesi’s $1.25 billion acquisition of rare disease medicinemaker Amryt Pharma and AstraZeneca’s $1.3 billion buyout of CinCor Pharma, which gives it access hypertension and kidney disease treatments, were among the highlights.
