Add your own review!

Overview

The author is one of the scientists to whom the development of the drugs called interferons, which are used to treat cancer, can be attributed. These memoirs record interferon's road from the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf. Dr. Cantell shows how research is carried out in the laboratory and the clinic; how the mind of the scientist operates and how he experiences success and failure; and how the involvement of money and politics can harm as well as help research.
