Whether it’s a small molecule, a versatile monoclonal antibody, or the fancy, poster child of cutting-edge cell therapy, modern drugs are built upon a centuries-old solid foundation set by the pioneers of medicine and immunology. This revealing book also explores the struggles for current-day pharmaceutical and biotech industries to overtake competitors and make sure their molecule reaches the finish line first. For leading cancer drug developers, that means achieving the ultimate goal: creating the next live-saving cancer medicine.
Readers will also find answers to common questions on drugs, such as:
- How long does it usually take for a drug to come to market?
- When can we expect a cure for cancers like leukemia and lymphoma?
- Are experimental medicines unsafe?
- Given my illness (or that of my loved one), should I join a clinical trial and what are the odds it will help?
A leading medical expert on the frontlines of drug creation, Dr. Ahmed offers basic pharmacological insights, revolutionary science, and the gripping arc of new drug development. Race for a Remedy will change the way readers think about medicine.
