Medscape (10/16) publishes the transcript from
a Medscape One-on-One session between Sanford-Burnham Medical Research
Institute CEO Dr. John C. Reed and Samaritan Health Initiatives President
Andrew C. von Eschenbach, MD, who formerly held positions as FDA commissioner
and NCI director. At the discussion, which took place at NIH's Celebration of Science
Conference at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. von Eschenbach noted that
"academic centers and researchers" are working to discover the
"underlying mechanisms" of the diseases; and the "government has
to play a critical role in catalyzing and fostering that collaboration. ... We
can bring the parts and pieces together as a team to use the brilliance of the
science that you, Dr. Reed, have been doing, and others here at NIH and in
academic institutions all around the world have been doing, and recognize that
science is the means. The end is that we solve people's problems, and we do it
together," von Eschenbach emphasized.
