Her story traces the unconventional invention of a breakthrough drug treatment from its development from laboratory research in the laboratory to its application as a medical treatment for vision loss. Told from a female perspective, In Sight is a unique and personal story covering Levy's early years as a refugee, her university training in the UK, and her appointment as professor at the University of British Columbia. Years spent as an academic led gave the author to unexpected exposure to the biotechnology industry and a chance meeting with colleagues that led to the formation of a lucrative biotechnology company, known today as QLT Inc. The bulk of the book covers the years spent building the company, and Levy's surprising transition from chief scientific officer to CEO. In Sight is an honest description of the trials of drug development, the tensions inherent in the commercialization of health innovations, and the truly remarkable hurdles faced by women in the scientific community."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Levy, Julia G., $d 1934- 650 0 $a Microbiologists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a College teachers $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Chief executive officers $z Canada $v Biography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Levy, Julia G., 1934- $t In sight. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2020 $z 9781487537999 $z 9781487537999 $w (OCoLC)1176493909 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304013008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE4A9A084F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
