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.

评分超级好看。vertex由哈佛天才,制药界王子,默沙东的逆子 - Joshua Boger 博士创建,是rational drug design的鼓吹者及实践者。周一鸣博士推荐给我这本书,读起来就放不下,对制药过程的艰辛和曲折有了更好的体会,同时也高度怀疑华尔街真的懂那些pre-revenue生物技术公司么?科学家也是人,他们有着过人的毅力和执着,也有怀疑嫉妒和self doubt。总之,非常好看的书。
