His way: Greg Ver­dine is build­ing a new kind of drug, with back­ing from a dif­fer­ent kind of in­vestor

And he’s just chalked up a $66 mil­lion round to move one of them — Fog­Phar­ma — in­to the clin­ic next year with a new tech­nol­o­gy he’s con­vinced can break its way in­to ther­a­peu­tic ter­ri­to­ries that have re­mained off lim­its to de­vel­op­ers up to now.
