Together, the two strategies form the nucleus of how Roche plans to deliver best-in-class products--faster, more cheaply and more reliably--to market. "The days of an attrition-based pipeline are over," says Lee Babiss, head of global pharma research. "We've responded by making R&D much more efficient...
