Unlocking Precision Medicine

Description

New medicines in the pipeline can extend lives, save money, and even help prevent disease before symptoms appear - if we don't discourage their innovators and investors by trying to lower drug prices artificially. Unlocking Precision Medicine explores the environment necessary for creation of these health care game-changers, and explains how the marketplace can effectively make them more affordable to all without killing the golden goose.
