About This Episode

A discussion with Bernard Munos, Founder of InnoThink, and named one of the 25 most influential people in biopharma by FiercePharma.  He discussed his analysis of the drug pipeline, the status of drugs in it, as well as his recommendations for how we can organize research more effectively and lower the cost of innovation and reduce the risk of failure so that we can get to a cure faster and at lower cost.
