It is very clear that the present system of innovation for medicines is very inefficient and really somewhat corrupt. It benefits shareholders over patients; it produces for the rich markets and not for the poor and does not produce for minority diseases.

Since the pharmaceuticals don't make any money and they control the doctors. If the doctors don't make any money then all hell breaks loose. In communities like LA and New York they are using a lot of the youth for a test sight.

I would welcome processes that eliminate the need for doctors. We bottle-neck things around doctors, and it's not a good way of doing things.

We're finally moving out of the realm of solely discussing biology in regards to a drug-based world.

There is a shortage of doctors, and the American Medical Association is aiming to keep it that way.

In general, drug companies are reasonably good at developing new treatments, and there's also a lot of good in the industry.

I'd like to focus on my life on creating new medicines for people who are suffering from rare disease.

In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.

Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.

We don't argue if drug companies create drugs that can cure humans and charge lots of money for them, even though we all have these diseases. It will be pretty hard to make a different argument for genes.
