ERIC SCHADT seems to see the essence of drug development as the matrix of interrelatedness among the proteins & other molecules. A few other researchers have come to recognize the need to consider the NETWORK of interactions necessary to effect significant changes. A key to his success is his apparent lack of ego & Christian willingness to share. The drug companies often set themselves up to fail by stonewalling other researchers. Greed stalks the development of helpful pharmaceuticals. ERIC seems free of that psychological cancer. Thank God for Eric Schadt.
