Experience
For the past 12 years, he worked as an economist
in the pharmaceutical industry. Most recently, he was Vice President
and Head of Health Economics & Strategic Pricing at Roche Pharmaceuticals,
and was based in Basel, Switzerland from 2002 to 2004. The department had
staff members located in Basel and Nutley, New Jersey, who were
responsible for global health economic, pricing, and epidemiological
strategies and analyses for new compounds from very early in development
up to final preparation for launch. He oversaw the work of the managers
who develop the economic strategies and research plans for all Roche
compounds in development.
In 1992, Dr. Garrison joined Syntex Corporation
as Director of Health Economics in Palo Alto, California. He managed
Syntex's pharmacoeconomic research program for the development of
mycophenolate mofetil for use in organ transplantation. After Roche
acquired Syntex in 1995 through May, 2004, he was a manager and
health economist in Roche's global health economics and outcomes
group. Prior to this, he was Director of the Project HOPE Center
for Health Affairs in Chevy Chase, Maryland. In eight years there,
he worked on a wide variety of health policy issues. His research
focused on the impact of technological change on health care costs.
He also conducted studies of health care reform both in the U.S.
and overseas. Before this, he worked at the Battelle Human Affairs
Research Centers in Seattle, where he carried out studies of the
adequacy of physician manpower supply and the cost-effectiveness
of kidney and heart transplantation.
