Some notes from Kelly Martin's remarks on Tysabri during the Elan 4Q Conference Call:

By BARBARA BERG

There are few more satisfying experiences for scientists than to see their work benefit others. For Dr. Elizabeth Wayner, that gratification came last fall, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted approval for a breakthrough drug to treat multiple sclerosis that is based ...
