Cancer, dementia, and cardiovascular disease are responsible for
almost two million deaths each year in the United States alone and
represent the largest immediate threat to humanity. Over the last
century, we have made spectacular advances that have transformed
our society - splitting the atom, space travel, telecommunications,
and the Internet - but with medical research focused mostly on
science for the sake of science, it has yielded precious few cures.
A Roadmap for Curing Cancer, Alzheimer's, and Cardiovascular
Disease represents a "first of its kind" effort to address both the
reasons for this and to posit solutions to fix our broken system,
in an effort to finally end this cure crisis. Dr. Marangos draws on
45 years of experience in every aspect of the biomedical R&D
field, from basic drug discovery research at the NIH to the
co-founding of five drug companies. He has published 252 research
papers and edited four books on drug discovery, is co-inventor on
14 patents, and founded "The Journal of Molecular Neuroscience". He
argues that from a development perspective, the regulatory, patent,
and legal hurdles that force industry to pursue so-called "me-too"
drugs rather than cures for terminal diseases must be re-thought.
Leadership accountability, strategy, focus, and urgency need to be
re-evaluated, and major reforms to the NIH, FDA, and patent codes
are proposed.to remedy these impediments to cures. Written for
anyone frustrated with the seemingly endless threat of terminal
disease, this book seeks to inform, energize, and provide the
rationale for the public and industry stakeholders, as well as
clinicians and researchers, to resurrect the physician-patient
relationship and demand that we get serious about ridding society
of this scourge on humanity. This work contains the views and
opinions of the author and are in no way intended to harm the
