For millennia, plants have been a source of traditional medicines. Today, they are used to produce drugs that play an important role in cancer treatment, pain control, inflammation reduction, and in the therapy of other critical conditions. The potential for further development of healthcare applications from plants is substantial, but the process of transforming scientific discoveries into commercial products is complex. 

Please join Toni Kutchan, Ph. D., Oliver M. Langenberg Distinguished Investigator, Vice President for Research, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, as they discuss medicines from plants and how research at the Danforth Center reaches the marketplace.
