Innovative drug discovery speeds new treatments to patients
At its core is NIBR’s emphasis on scientific exploration and experimentation, reflecting a realization that the development of significant advances depends on a focus on the long term, rather than on immediate financial returns. Fishman infuses his organization with the drive, as well as the opportunity, to tackle difficult challenges in order to bring forward treatments that he hopes will change the practice of medicine.
