Publisher: The Seattle Times, 2004ISSN: 1522-3264;.Subject(s): Enbrel | Inflammation | Medicine -- Research | Mohler, Ken | Rheumatoid arthritis -- TreatmentDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Ken Mohler grew up a doctor's son in the Kansas cow town of Abilene. He liked the idea of helping patients--except when doctors felt helpless, out of treatment options. He was more attracted to the can-do mentality of his grandfather, an entrepreneur, and finding ways to apply it to medicine. It took most of his life to do it, starting with years of study in immunology and then a low-level job in a pharmaceutical company, but he found a way. Mohler is one of the few scientists of his generation who has created a breakthrough drug that has enabled bedridden patients to return to their jobs, or play golf, without pain. Mohler, 48, did it at Immunex, one of Seattle's pioneering biotechnology companies, and now runs research and development at a startup, Trubion Pharmaceuticals in Seattle."
