An expert's view on solving the challenges confronting today's pharmaceutical industry
Author John LaMattina, a thirty-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry and former president of Pfizer's Global R&D Division, is internationally recognized as an expert on the pharmaceutical industry. His first book, Drug Truths: Dispelling the Myths About Pharma R&D, was critically acclaimed for clearing up misconceptions about the pharmaceutical industry and providing an honest account of the contributions of pharmaceutical research and development to human health and well-being.
As he toured the country discussing Drug Truths, Dr. LaMattina regularly came across people who were filled with anger, accusing the ... Read morepharmaceutical industry of making up diseases, hiding dangerous side effects, and more. This book was written in response to that experience, critically examining public perceptions and industry realities.
Starting with "4 Secrets that Drug Companies Don't Want You to Know," Devalued and Distrusted provides a fact-based account of how the pharmaceutical industry works and the challenges it faces. It addresses such critical issues as:
- Why pharmaceutical R&D productivity has declined
- Where pharmaceutical companies need to invest their resources
- What can be done to solve core health challenges, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases
- How the pharmaceutical industry can regain public trust and resuscitate its image
Our understanding of human health and disease grows daily; however, converting science into medicine is increasingly challenging. Reading Devalued and Distrusted, you'll not only gain a greater appreciation of those challenges, but also the role that the pharmaceutical industry currently plays and can play in solving those challenges.

Reviews for Devalued and Distrusted: Can the Pharmaceutical Industry Restore its Broken Image?
"Oz should invite LaMattina back on his show. Since LaMattina treats all concerns respectfully, Oz needn’t worry about feeling devalued or distrusted." (Barron's, 5 May 2014) “This is an honest book by an insider who believes in the basic good that the industry does.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 September 2013) “Summing Up: Recommended. General ... Read moreaudiences.” (Choice, 1 September 2013) “For those more loosely associated or aspiring to work with in it, I particularly recommend this book as a balanced and informative read on the pressures the industry faces. It should also provide the basis for more reasoned argument and forewarn anyone else potentially ambushed by a TV show.” (ChemMedChem, 19 July 2013) “That said, the suggestions made by LaMattina for improvements in productivity and transparency are timely, and the book makes interesting if unexciting reading.” (Chemistry & Industry, 1 June 2013) “John LaMattina (ex-head of Pfizer's global R&D) has a new book out about the industry, called Devalued and Distrusted.
