Knowing "now" what we should have know "then" is the basis of Brian's research.  He will reveal to you the unsettling truth about the development of chemotherapy drugs and how, as cancer survivors who have taken them, face an uncertain cardiovascular future. And as his unexpected side effect, he may help redefine the methodology for all human trials in pharmaceuticals.


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
