Summary
Raymond Schinazi, a / unusual hybrid academic entrepreneur, has had his hand in the development of five rescue drugs that have come on the market and it is still ongoing. An organic chemist based at Emory University in Atlanta who helped start several biotechnology companies, Schinazi made hundreds of millions of dollars of drugs that treat HIV and hepatitis B and help cure hepatitis C. He specializes in similar nucleoside and nucleotide that trip viruses, a strategy, once rejected by many drug developers as too dangerous. His work has won praise from admirers, but, rather inevitably, its remarkable success brought a tangle of lawsuits, increased monitoring, and some fallout with longtime collaborators. "When you are a big success," he says, "people are very jealous."
