Pharmaceutical "GOLD RUSH"

At last spring ACS meeting, I attended for BMS-Smissman award talk by a renowned scientist Bruce E. Mayanoff. His talk related to the true life stories in drug discovery, which also appeared in J. Med. Chem., ASAP. His observations are certainly true in industry. Nowadays, scientists like Bruce Maryanoff kind of attitude are very rare. Modern scientists have more faith on fast track drug discovery by process of doing it. No focus on real medical need, only rush..."GOLD RUSH" following behind each other. Good science leads to best used drugs. Read more on this topic at Org Prep Daily as well.
