Donald McDonnell: Why Academic Drug Discovery Still Matters

Donald McDonnell, Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke University School of Medicine, shared on LinkedIn:

“I am a translational researcher whose team focusses on the development of novel endocrine therapies for advanced breast and prostate cancer.

I am frequently asked ‘would it not be more efficient to leave drug discovery to colleagues in the private sector’.

I do not think that any of my answers to that question are as ‘on point’ as those made by Sally Kornbluth in this short interview.”
