The Lebenthal Report Episode #78: James Geraghty, Author of Inside the Orphan Drug Revolution
This week on The Lebenthal Report we welcome James Geraghty. James Geraghty has been a director of eight NASDAQ-listed biotech companies and chair of five. He’s worked on orphan drugs for over forty years—as a strategy consultant, a CEO, a leader of pioneering international operations at Genzyme, and a venture entrepreneur. As a biotechnology executive, he has been a passionate participant in the orphan drug revolution since its inception. His book, Inside the Orphan Drug Revolution: The Promise of Patient-Centered Biotechnology, is in part a history, with eye-witness accounts of advances as they occurred and portraits of the pioneering scientists and physicians, tireless activists, and visionary business leaders who made the revolution happen.
