Importance of research stressed to Kiwanians
James C. Yukosky of Lederle Laboratories spoke to the Kiwanis Club on the drug industry's research. He noted about 2,000 compounds are tested for every useful antibiotic, estimated industry spend of $6 million per drug, and that 1953 alone saw $257 million invested in research. He argued fierce competition drives progress and that today’s drugs may become obsolete in five years, yielding better cures. He praised collaboration between physicians and researchers and predicted advances against cancer and heart disease. Dennis B. Mielke received a forest technology degree from Penn State, is a 1961 Neshaminy High School graduate, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He earned a private pilot license after special flight training.
