When cancers develop stealthy resistance

[D.ap]

“In the quest for better cancer therapies, Dr. Martin Edwards is one of the scientists on the frontlines informally known as “drug hunters.” His preoccupation these days is hunting for medicines that are more “stealthy” in their fight against cancer tumors—especially tumors that are resistant to conventional treatments.
“There are people today who get cancer for which there is no treatment. Our job is to invent medicines that provide options and give them hope,” says Edwards, Vice President and Head of Oncology Medicinal Chemistry, based at Pfizer’s R&D site in La Jolla, California.
Edwards has been applying his expertise in medicinal chemistry to search for new medicines for some three decades. He’s even experienced a bona fide eureka moment while taking a hot bath, just like the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes, who is credited with having the original eureka moment about water displacement. More on that later.“
