An inside look at the orphan drug revolution

from The Podcast by KevinMD

Join us as we explore the history and evolution of the orphan drug revolution with James Geraghty, a health care executive. Discover how the pharmaceutical industry of the 1970s, driven by a pursuit of predictable profitability, led to the neglect of rare diseases and the rise of the orphan drug revolution. Get an inside look at how the intersection of science, medicine, and entrepreneurship has improved the lives of thousands of patients through innovative therapies. James Geraghty is a health care executive. He shares his story and discusses his book, Inside The Orphan Drug Revolution: The Promise of Patient-Centered Biotechnology.
