Why biotech CEOs need to think like Steve Jobs

Abstract:
The company is engineering nanoscale particles that will deliver two drugs directly to the site of a tumor: One drug will shut down the blood vessels that feed the tumor while the other will deliver chemotherapy over a sustained period. By custom-building the package that will contain these two drugs, Tempo believes it can get the drugs to the right place -- and reduce side effects.

"Nanotechnology," Crane said, "has the potential to redefine drug therapy over the next five to 10 years."
