From lab bench to Wall Street.

In addition to publishing traditional Book Reviews, the FASEB Journal will publish, under our “Milestones” rubric, book-notes and/or memoirs written by the authors themselves. We invite our readers who are authors of books for the general reader to write about their work in the form of informal essays, memoirs, etc. Our first booknote/memoir is by Tamas Bartfai, Ph.D., who is the director of the Harold L. Dorris Neurological Research Center at The Scripps Research Institute La Jolla, California. Professor Bartfai is former head of central nervous system research at Hoffman-La Roche, Basel, Switzerland, and spent most of his professional career at Stockholm University. His essay explains the genesis of his new book, Drug Discovery: From Bedside to Wall Street, co-authored with Graham V. Lees (2005, Academic Press/Elsevier).
