Quick introduction – tell us a bit about yourself! Where are you from and what’s your educational and professional background?
I’m from the west of Romania and have been into informatics since high school. However, my real passion for technology started once I joined a robotics team where I was able to apply everything I had learned in a hands-on environment. I went on to earn a degree in Computer Science and began my career in cybersecurity. Along the way, I gained diverse experiences through volunteering and working with startups. Eventually, I found myself enjoying building websites more, which I now focus on.
What excites you about your job?
What excites me most about my role as a developer at Lyfegen is the opportunity to create new functionalities on our platform that truly end up helping those in need. I'm thrilled to be part of a company that shares my vision and is dedicated to making treatments more accessible to people. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that the work I do contributes to such a meaningful cause.
Why did you decide to join Lyfegen?
I was looking for a dynamic startup environment where I could grow and contribute to its evolution. I wanted to use my skills to leave a positive impact on the community, and I saw that same passion in the founders and team at Lyfegen. Their dedication to creating important change resonated with me and motivated me to be part of their mission of creating a lot of value.
What is something you want to learn or improve in the next 12 months?
I wish to improve my development skills to create amazing user experiences on Lyfegen’s platform while also exploring new relevant technologies. Additionally, I want to focus on my interpersonal abilities within the team, allowing me to contribute more effectively.
How will your know-how help improve our customers’ experience of Lyfegen solutions?
In Lyfegen's dynamic startup environment, where legislations and requirements can change rapidly, agility is key. We must be quick to launch innovative and reliable solutions on the market, and my expertise in developing intricate products helps us to achieve this by delivering seamless and intuitive features. Also, I am very detail-oriented and try to anticipate various edge cases within our platform's logic, ensuring that many potential errors are addressed before they can reach our clients.
Let’s get personal: What are your favorite things to do in your free time?
I’ve recently developed a passion for graphic design, often working on various posters and creative projects. I also love cooking, experimenting with new recipes, or crafting some of my own. Otherwise, I enjoy traveling and I’m trying to explore more countries in the future.
Is there anything else you are looking forward to outside of work in the next few months?
I’m eager to dive deeper into my graphic design hobby, exploring more challenging projects and learning more about it. I’m also looking forward to an upcoming road trip through Greece where I plan to explore the stunning landscapes and rich culture.
We are excited to see Denisa grow and thrive in her role at Lyfegen. Welcome to the team, Denisa!

With price tags in the millions, gene therapies are redefining medicine—and reshaping how we negotiate access to it. For both payers and pharmaceutical companies, these breakthrough treatments present a shared challenge: how do you fund what feels priceless?
From Zolgensma to Hemgenix, gene therapies promise one-time cures for rare and life-threatening diseases. But the financial model behind them can’t follow the traditional playbook. These treatments call for a smarter, more collaborative approach to pricing—and that’s exactly what’s taking root.
Why Payers and Pharma Need a New Playbook
Unlike conventional drugs, gene therapies frontload their cost while delivering benefits over time. That disconnect forces a fundamental rethink of how pricing, reimbursement, and risk-sharing are handled.
According to the Lyfegen 2024 Drug Contracting Trends Report, health systems worldwide are moving toward innovative agreements: outcome guarantees, installment plans, and subscription-based models. These aren’t just experiments—they’re becoming essential tools to balance patient access with financial responsibility.
For payers, it’s about managing risk while maintaining equity. For pharma, it’s about demonstrating value in a way that aligns with clinical reality. Either way, the direction is clear: shared risk, shared benefit.
Global Shifts That Are Shaping the Market
The trends are global and accelerating. In the United States, payers like Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicaid are embracing outcome-based models for sickle cell gene therapies like Casgevy and Lyfgenia. Brazil’s Ministry of Health uses installment payments for Zolgensma, spreading risk over five years while tying reimbursement to real-world outcomes.
In Europe, countries like Spain and Italy combine restricted coverage with annual reassessments, ensuring that high-cost therapies are only reimbursed if they continue to deliver results.
The message? Pricing innovation is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s the only way forward.
How Lyfegen Bridges the Gap
At Lyfegen, we help payers and pharma move beyond the negotiation table—and into action.
• Our Agreements Library, the world’s largest digital repository of value-based contracts, helps you understand what others are doing and where the benchmarks lie.
• Our pricing simulation engine lets both sides explore scenarios before committing—making deals smarter from day one.
• And our automated platform handles everything from contract setup to rebate tracking, saving time, reducing risk, and driving transparency.
A Smarter Way to Fund the Future of Medicine
Gene therapies will continue to challenge the limits of what we think healthcare can afford. But with the right models and tools, both payers and pharma can find common ground—ensuring that innovation reaches the patients who need it most.
