(For maladies that are still largely mysterious to doctors, such as A.L.S.—also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease—a more creative, open-ended research model may be needed.) Kenneth Anderson, whose lab receives funding from the N.I.H. and participates in drug studies financed by pharmaceutical companies, said, “Myeloma now is a paradigm for new drug development, because of partnerships that occur between academics, large pharmaceutical companies, small biotech, the F.D.A., the National Cancer Institute, and foundations. And, frankly, Giusti’s foundation has been a catalyst that created the urgency and awareness to make this progress possible.”</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3DEF5867-C13D-40BD-9363-3981A62ADE04/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
