Meet the doctors, scientists and patients patients fighting the worlds worst diseasesA must read. Siddhartha Mukherjee, bestselling author of The Emperor of All MaladiesWhat does it take to create a new medicine? The trajectory from laboratory to your neighbourhood pharmacy rarely runs smooth. Drug hunting demands radical leaps of imagination, the expertise of many and a hefty dollop of luck. Unsurprisingly, eureka moments come few and far between but, when they do, they change lives.Charting the discovery of eight revolutionary drugs, Dr William Pao cuts to the innovative heart of biomedical research and celebrates the tireless work of the scientists, doctors, patients and families fighting for better medical care. For each of these medicines, whether a potentially lifesaving new treatment for cancer, or something as commonplace as paracetamol, there stands a cast of characters and a wealth of stories. Documenting these fascinating journeys, Breakthrough grants a privileged, behindthescenes look at the medicines that improve and very often save our lives.Foreword by Nobel PrizeWinner Harold Varmus***Utterly compelling. Dame Kate Bingham, author of The Long ShotA celebration of medical innovation. GuardianCaptivating... An essential read. Art Levinson, former CEO of Genentech
