Preparing the Market

George Scangos, Vir Biotechnology
In conversation with: Jody Puglisi, Stanford School of Medicine

Many scientifically successful drugs, he points out, have been commercial failures—further demonstrating the importance of making sure the market is prepared to accept (and pay for) a new therapy.
