To summarize this and bypass the clickbait title: Dr. Alex Oshmyansky, a child prodigy with a PhD in mathematics and a MD (worked in radiology) decided the 3 or so jobs/fellowships he was juggling weren't enough and decided to start a company selling cheaper drugs, failing a couple times in getting funding and ultimately opening a public benefit corporation, backed by Mark Cuban, who valued the concept of the project and committed strongly to it. So far the company has been moving along nicely (though it's still young).
TL;DR: Mark Cuban is funding Dr. Alex Oshmyansky's drug public-benefit company, making it less susceptible to the typical big-pharma buyouts that destroy other such companies
- incahoots 4y agoThank you for this summary, I recall Dr. Oshmyansky when he first went into the PhD curriculum, time really passes you by when you forget to notice it.
