Patrick Vallance Head of Drug Discovery GlaxoSmithKline A Pharma perspective on healthcare needs and innovation in drug discovery Patrick Vallance Head of Drug Discovery GlaxoSmithKline
“We need to adopt a new mindset. We in big pharma should never take for granted our right to exist; our business model is not written into any country’s constitution. So we should be turning up to work every day with the mindset that we are earning the right to exist. We are earning it by meeting the expectations of society. When you start to think like this, you see the world differently.“ Andrew Witty, CEO, GlaxoSmithKline – Harvard, February 2009
