Deep Dive: R&D Innovation
In this issue of Deep Dive we look at innovation in pharma R&D, asking how can pharmaceutical companies change up the development model with new strategies and technologies to cut waste and ensure the best medicines get to the patients that can benefit from them.
There’s also an additional focus on rare disease patients and how to best meet their needs, plus expert input from IDEA Pharma, Havas Lynx Faze, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, Alexion and Spire Health, as well as rare disease advocates Seth Rotberg and Ana Velosa.
