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.
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.

評分“价值十亿美元的分子”?别逗了,价值十亿美元的钻石是用分子拼出来的不假,但是,也得让人先看到真材实料的“本体”才能被估值--可是,究竟是什么样的分子能够让人们在其还远未成形之际就甘愿投入以亿计数的美元,数年后仍愿意探究其背后的传奇呢? 自然,是能拯救成千上万人...
評分不知道该怎么去记录读书最后一刻的感受,是意犹未尽?还是怅然若失?记得前年读《基因泰克》的时候,最感兴趣的肯定是属于赫赛汀的问世之路,然而作者介绍完重组人胰岛素后就结束了,但是基因泰克对我的影响确实巨大的。福泰一上来就给了我一个谜,他们到底合成了哪个免疫抑制...

评分吹爆!從理解行業的角度,個人覺得吊打Bad Blood。幾條主綫都非常清晰:一是研發chase,包括醫藥公司之間,以及與大學實驗室的驚心動魄的競爭;二是初創醫藥公司尋求融資,包括商業閤作和IPO,非常有趣;三是公司內部的人物和管理,包括科研的艱辛,商業和科學的妥協,科學傢之間的交往和嫉妒。信息量大,沒有水分,無論科學還是商業方麵都很專業,而且似乎都是insider的洞察,看著像是初創醫藥企業的微縮版百科全書。這部英文版讀起來比較纍,中文翻譯似乎不錯,還是可以讀中文版吧。
