The J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference's second day featured presentations from GSK, Novartis, Sanofi, and Eli Lilly, following a day of significant deal announcements and financial overviews from major biopharma companies. As the first day concluded, attendees faced protests accusing the industry of prioritizing profits over lives, amid heightened police presence due to recent events, including the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Despite the protests, conference participants remained largely unaffected.
