Founded by Joshua Boger, a dynamic Harvard- and Merck- trained scientific whiz kid, Vertex is dedicated to designing-atom by atom-both a new life-saving immunosuppressant drug, and a drug to combat the virus that causes AIDS. You will be hooked from start to finish, as you go from the labs, where obsessive, fiercely competitive scientists struggle for a breakthrough, to Wall Street, where the wheeling and dealing takes on a life of its own, as Boger courts investors and finally decides to take Vertex public. Here is a fascinating no- holds-barred account of the business of science, which includes an updated epilogue about the most recent developments in the quest for a drug to cure AIDS. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 610 20 Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated. 650 0 AIDS (Disease)|xTreatment|xResearch|zUnited States. 650 0 Immunosuppressive agents|xDevelopment|zUnited States. 650 0 Pharmaceutical biotechnology|zUnited States. 650 0 Pharmaceutical industry|zUnited States. 700 1 Bowlby, Stephen. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14596578?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781666174878_180.jpeg
