Is it because there's a revolving door immediately to big pharma?
Well, I don't know if he has control of where they go after, but he certainly has control of listening to the science as opposed to the bureaucratic dogma that says, this is how we've done it before and I don't care.
And I don't care that it's going to take another five years before these patients could actually have access to it.
So I had invented, again, going after Bristol-Myers and going after Sanofi of a drug called Taxol.
Taxol is one most widely used for women with breast cancer, and it is dissolved in castor oil.
So women to this day are getting an injection of castor oil into the veins for which there is a mortality.
More importantly, there's anaphylaxis, a mortality, and it sticks in their blood vessels as opposed to getting to the tumor.
So I had invented the idea that we've got to get rid of this and put it inside another protein of your body called albumin, which is the largest protein in your body, that transports fatty acids around your body to the tissue.
So I thought of why did I put the Paclitaxel inside a nanoparticle of albumin and we inject a safe drug that gets to the tumor without this anaphylactic reaction.
That's what I invented.
It's called Abraxane.
And it worked?
It worked.
So Celgene wanted to buy it.
They bought it.
To this day.
It's in Bristol-Myers' hands now.
It's a billion revenue.
It saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
A billion revenue as you speak today.
