💊 From Brooklyn to Biotech Titan: The Rise of Pfizer 💊

Welcome to the first-ever episode of Petri Dish Perspectives: Biotech Unleashed! 🚀 I’m your host, Manead—scientist, biotech nerd, and your guide through the fascinating world of life sciences.

We’re kicking things off with Pfizer—a company that started as a small chemical business in Brooklyn and grew into a global powerhouse. From upscaling penicillin in WWII to revolutionizing cholesterol treatment with Lipitor, turning a failed heart drug into Viagra, and spearheading the COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer has been at the forefront of medical breakthroughs for 175 years.

How did two German cousins build a billion-dollar empire? What made Pfizer a leader in R&D, and where are they headed next? Grab a coffee (or your favorite lab-safe beverage) and dive in as we break it all down. 🧪🔬
