Another full house at the Buck today! Guest speaker is Executive VP at Buck, Remy Gross III. He’s helping to answer this question: “So, When Will All These Breakthroughs Be in My Medicine Cabinet?” We’ve all heard “Schoolhouse Rock” explain how a bill becomes a law, but how does a scientific discovery become a drug? Spoiler alert: it’s a much longer and windier road than the legislative process. Remy Gross, a trained chemist who has participated in the development of 11 drugs and devices (which have resulted in sales of over $180 billion), explains the fascinating journey and why only 1 out of every 5,000 drug candidates makes it across the finish line. He’s also talking about how supplements are treated much differently, and what that may mean for you.
