Girondi hunts for a cure in a drama that has boundless implications in the world of gene therapy. As Girondi writes, "I'd been strangled, shot at, skated more than twenty arrests, made it through 3 FBI witch-hunts and went from the docks to trading and big money. I would see my son cured. How hard could it be?" After decades of struggle, he delivered the world's first commercial batch of vector with the potential to cure Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia. But again, the success of the cureand the fate of his sonis imperiled, in a world of lab jackets, mysterious deaths, and cut-throat Wall Street banksters. This is a story of love, beating the odds, or as Girondi calls it, pure luck. It is a gritty and realistic tale told with little regard for empire or etiquette. Artikel-Nr. 90914
