For Blood and Money: Billionaires, Biotech, and the Quest for a Blockbuster Drug

This book tells the story of how a small biotech startup named Pharmacyclics invented a blockbuster cancer drug and how the core team behind the drug went and did it again (with Acerta) after not getting their intended share of the profits.

These two companies weren’t just scientific breakthroughs; they represented one of the best Wall Street bets, reaping billions of dollars for their early investors. This is a narration of how scientific curiosity and the pursuit of wealth collided to yield effective results.
