Description and Table of Contents

Description

Everyone expects something from the drug industry. Physicians and patients, investors, regulators and administrators all have an active interest. Everyone wants to know what makes drugs 'work' medically and economically. Why are drugs so expensive? Is it the drug companies or investors who demand high profits? What governs the pharmacoeconomics? Why are so few diseases treatable? Drug Discovery opens the windows and doors of the industry telling the story of drug development by using real stories from inside the process.
