Join journalist Barry Werth as he pulls back the curtain on Vertex, a start-up pharmaceutical company, and witness firsthand the intense drama being played out in the pioneering and hugely profitable field of drug research. 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.
Barry Werth is an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Washington Monthly, and GQ, where he is a writer-at-large. Currently at work on an expose about doctors and lawyers, he lives in Northampton, Massachusetts.

评分《十亿美元分子》记录的是福泰大胆创业、挑战陈规的故事,对于一位非医药行业从业者而言,我一直反思这些年走过的路,做过的事,人的价值如何体现?也许,对于医药行业,很多读者都是陌生的,它不像文艺那样可以发表个人的喜怒悲欢,那些跳动的文字可以承载你复杂的心情。而医...
不只一个医药的分析师给我介绍这本书了。近距离展示新药开发路途中的惊心动魄的历程。最后的最后药还是没研发出来。。。可能也是想告诉我们连公司自己都不知道的事情,你华尔街就别指望看懂这了。
