Novartis, the Swiss drug giant, is hoping it can cut the cost of drug research with technologies that help to reduce its “fail” rate.

The average cost of bringing a single drug to market for Novartis was $4bn (£2.4bn), he added, but as much as $1bn of this cost could be money wasted on investigating drugs which failed during development.
