But how did these remarkable, life-saving drugs come into being? In Triumph of the Heart, Dr. Jie Jack Li, a medicinal chemist and expert on drug discovery, tells the fascinating story of statins. Drawn from interviews with many scientists involved in the discovery and development of these drugs, the book illuminates the human side of science by revealing the role played by persistence, luck, and sudden insight that characterise major discoveries. 410 0$aOxford scholarship online. 606 $aStatins (Cardiovascular agents)$xHistory 606 $aAnticholesteremic agents 615 0$aStatins (Cardiovascular agents)$xHistory. 615 0$aAnticholesteremic agents. 676 $a615/.718 700 $aLi$b Jie Jack$0440094 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782880803321 996 $aTriumph of the heart$93867842 997 $aUNINA
