Peace in strength. Like the mighty oak that has survived some 600 years in what is now my back yard, we engage with experience and resilience. Whether the winds blow hard or the sun shines bright, we go on, deeply rooted and stretching for the heavens.
Strength in peace. Many challenges of the world, and Pharmaceutical R&D, grow out of mere misunderstandings. We seek to enhance mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation toward shared objectives.

Looking Back at Our Growth in 2019
Writing goals and expectations at the beginning of each year is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it is critical to provide some semblance of focus in the midst of all the activity around us. On the other, when looking back we see just how uninformed we were. Like trees, we don’t know what is…
Finding Our Crack in the Ice
She encouraged each of us to find our crack in the expansive ice of rare disease and drive a wedge into it. The effort of everyone continually working their own little crack (science, policy, direct experience, economics, medicine, fundraising, advocacy, or whatever) will eventually weaken the ice enough to shatter it. Together we can beat these diseases. This got me thinking about the contribution of Salem Oaks.

Anything but Ordinary
Our experience at Global Genes Rare Patient Summit I think what needs to be pointed out in that title, is the word RARE. This conference is anything but ordinary.

It’s your first day

They haven’t yet found a close friend, they haven’t started classes yet to meet anyone, and their roommate is more than likely a stranger. They are a single human trying to get…
Back-to-School = Busy Schedules
I don’t know how this happens. I haven’t been formally in school for 25 years, but my calendar seems totally unable to shake the habit of “getting ready” for the next academic year. And the same seems to be true for Salem Oaks! We have so much planned for the fall that we thought…
Coming Soon: Improbable Developments Podcast
The science of drug discovery and development creates a rich landscape for all sorts of stories to unfold.
Each month we are going to talk to someone who was in the trenches of R&D and let them tell their story. We’ll be talking about medicines you may know and some that never saw the light of day.
