About this title

Review:

If you have expectations from, or suspicions about, the drug industry, then this book is for you

From the Author:

'Anyone who thinks solutions to drug development are just around the corner would be well-advised to get this insider's views as to where the real problems lie.' comment from Floyd Bloom CEO of Neurome Inc and world renowned neuroscientist, former Editor of Science magazine. When Tamas Bartfai and I wrote this book we very much had the audience of the New York Times (or similar serious newspapers) feature article readers in mind. Hardly a day passes without there being some article about the launch of new drugs, the withdrawal of drugs, the business of Pharma or the discoveries of Biotech, etc. We think our book is an objective look at and inside the drug industry and puts all these stories in context. The Pharma and Biotech industries are extremely important for society and business and we think the book is of great interest to a general audience, not just scientists in academia or drug discovery. Anyone who has read newspaper articles about the pharmaceutical industry, whether they be scientists, business people, lawyers or concerned citizens, would find this book to be a rewarding read.
