Among other projects, he is currently examining the public health implications of variation in state drug product selection laws, the risk of re-identification under HIPAA pathways for data sharing for post-approval drug research, and the comparative safety and effectiveness of biosimilars.
Among other projects, he is currently examining the public health impact of risk evaluation and mitigation strategies, the comparative safety and effectiveness of authorized and non-authorized generics, and the effect of variation in state drug product selection laws on generic drug prescribing.
With the shift to short-termism, the natural selection laws ceased to be the driving force of market innovation.

"Once you have living things feeding off trapped energy, and a mechanism for evolving-through-competition-and-selection, the laws we seem to understand tell us that the machinery will grow more sophisticated at doing that job," said Anbar.
