Dipharma SA is a Swiss specialty pharmaceutical company, developing improved generics medicines for rare metabolic diseases. Founder & CEO Marc-Olivier Geinoz discusses why the company has chosen to compete in the largely unexplored rare diseases generics space, its direct presence in the German market, and the opportunities inherent in metabolic disease small-molecules.
