“Entrepreneurs for Cures: The Critical Need for Innovative Approaches to Disease Research”

Summary: Innovation.  Business leaders obsess about it endlessly.  A search on Amazon.com™ for books  about innovation yields more than 200,000 items.  What does it mean to innovate in the search for cures for disease? The irony about medical research is that its outcomes are often innovative – new knowledge about biology and disease, and new products to treat disease – but its processes in many cases are not.
