The article looks at Bernard Munos, a former executive at pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and the innovations he recommends to improve the pharmaceutical and drug industry.

Pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Sanofi-Aventis, and Zafgen have followed his advice by cutting research and development budgets and establishing networks with outside researchers.
