This book answers the questions about the process and costs of
pharmaceutical R & D in a compelling narrative focused on the
discovery and development of important new medicines. It gives an
insider's account of the pharmaceutical industry drug discovery
process, the very real costs of misperceptions about the industry,
the high stakes--both economic and scientific--of developing drugs,
the triumphs that come when new compounds reach the market and save
lives, and the despair that follows when new compounds fail. In the
book, John LaMattina, former president of Pfizer Global Research
and Development, weaves themes critical to a vital drug discovery
environment in the context. This is a story that Dr. LaMattina is
uniquely qualified to tell.
