What are clinical trials? Who should participate in them? And why are they important? In this episode of Science is the Best Medicine, Abhinav Sharma talks to Harvard’s Eugene Braunwald, MD, a cardiologist who’s been a firsthand witness to more than 50 years of clinical trials.

Duke’s Mona Fiuzat, PhD, talks with Abhinav Sharma about how scientific discoveries are translated to usable treatments and how the U.S. Food and Drug Administration really works.

Cardiologist Joseph Hill, MD, PhD, editor-in-chief of Circulation, discusses what it’s like to run a peer-reviewed journal and how medical discoveries are disseminated in the age of information overload.

Medicare, Obamacare, rising costs, and preexisting conditions: The controversy over health care in the United States rages on in Congress and online. In this episode Mark McClellan, director of the Margolis Center for Health Policy and former U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner, discusses the complexities of healthcare policy.

Robert Lefkowitz, MD, won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2012 for his groundbreaking work on the proteins known as receptors. That research has since influenced the development of a wide variety of drugs including antihistamines, ulcer drugs, and beta blockers. In this episode of the podcast, he discusses his research, his family, and the path that brought him to Duke.
