书籍简介

加入记者Barry Werth的行列，他将揭开顶点这个新成立的制药公司的帷幕，并亲眼目睹在药物研究这个具有开拓性和巨大利润的领域中上演的激烈戏剧。

顶点公司由乔舒亚·博格创立，他是一个由哈佛大学和默克公司培养的充满活力的科学天才，致力于逐个原子地设计一种新的拯救生命的免疫抑制药物，以及一种对抗导致艾滋病的病毒的药物。

你会从头到尾被吸引住，因为你会从实验室（痴迷的、竞争激烈的科学家在那里为突破而奋斗）到华尔街，在那里，当博格追求投资者并决定让顶点公司上市时，交易就会有自己的生命。这是一个关于科学商业的迷人的无保留的描述，其中包括一个关于寻求治愈艾滋病的药物的新进展的新后记。

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.
