Pulitzer board

Mukherjee is a wonderful storyteller with a gift for interweaving elegant science with clear and concise explanation. Mukherjee is currently serving as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University in New York City. Mukherjee couldn't answer her, nor could he name a book that would answer the patient's query.Her first novel "The Namesake" was adapted into a movie by Mira Nair.

The first new US diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease to be released in 27 years paint the disorder as a disease that occurs gradually over many years, starting with changes in the brain, then mild memory problems and finally progressing to full-blown dementia. The first chemicals used by Farber against cancer were provided by a team of scientists led by Yellapragada Subbarow, who trained as a doctor in India before moving to the U.S. in 1923.

Spanning almost 4000 years from the first references during the times of the Pharaohs to 2008, the epic journey covers the attempts to eradicate Cancer by the surgeons, the chemists, the radiologists and lastly the geneticists. Mukherjee never allows us to forget this first principle of uncertainty that makes medical science something of a leap in the dark ? for both doctors and patients. When I finally took the plunge and penned the first line, I didn't really have any plot in mind. But I was very clear about the people and the environment I wanted to write about.
