The Story of Interferon
Gives the reader a glimpse of the world of science - how research is carried out in the laboratory and the clinic, how the mind of the scientist operates and how he experiences success and failure, and how the involvement of money and politics harms as well as helps research. The memoirs of Cantell record interferon's long road from the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf and is a richly rewarding book written for ordinary people without a basic knowledge of biology or medicine.
