“I believe that the digitization of chemistry is the key to making drugs cheaper, and to driving the discovery of other drugs and complex formulated products. I’d like to see a digital inventory of drugs, whereby all drugs that have been sold can be made available forever rather than the current process of drugs going ‘out of production’ – much like the way books used to go out of print before they were digitized.”
