“Listening to patients and their families and caregivers about their experiences to understand how new medicines can make patients’ lives better. Hearing that a new medicine I’ve worked on has helped a patient fills me with gratitude and joy, and carries me through the inevitable challenges and setbacks that all of us in drug development face.”
