Drug discovery is perhaps the hardest intellectual problem. The human body is extraordinarily complicated --- perhaps more complicated than it needs to be to function, but that is another discussion. And yet great minds have found ways to fix it at a molecular level when it fails. I am in awe of the scientists who have invented the cures that we take for granted today. And yet so much remains to be done. Today, only a handful of treatments exist for the countless ailments that strike us down dead.
