Overview

The definitive account of Michael Milken's lifelong leadership in accelerating medical breakthroughs and transforming public health to provide all of us with longer, healthier, more meaningful lives. What if humans could speed up the historically slow churn of science--and change the course of history? Over the past fifty years, Mike Milken has done that in many corners of medical science. Yet he believes we're just getting started. Astounding advances that were once considered science fiction are on the horizon: the ability to clean cancers from your body as routinely as going to the dentist to clean your teeth, replacement organs grown from your own cells, elimination of birth defects through gene editing, cell rejuvenation to slow aging, and much more. Faster Cures combines Milken's personal journey throughout his life with his quest to unravel the mysteries of disease. This helped revolutionize the process of fighting life-threatening conditions. His memoir details the history of medicine's advance from a dark past to a bright future, and explains how the field of medicine will transform society through research into cancer, infectious diseases, the brain, the immune system, organ transplants, and CRISPR gene editing. This is the exciting story of how Milken marshalled his formidable innovations in finance and remarkable scientific insights to transform the process of finding cures faster in the laboratory and the clinic. It sounds the alarm on where the system must change, and provides a hopeful road map for the future.
