Disease Knows No Politics by Elias Zerhouni

Disease Knows No Politics is an inspirational political and medical memoir that strikes into the heart of a post-pandemic America where conspiracy theories have run amok.

An accomplished public servant, Dr. Elias Zerhouni served as the 15th director of the National Institutes of Health (the first Arab American and immigrant to do so) under President George W. Bush and as a presidential envoy for science and technology under President Barack Obama.

He’s currently an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine and the U.S. National Academy of Engineering.

Elias is professor emeritus of radiology and biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and the author of more than 200 publications, and an inventor whose research has saved countless patients with suspected lung or breast cancer from unnecessary surgeries and advanced the field of cardiovascular MRI. An entrepreneur, Elias is president of OPKO Health, a multinational biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company, and co-founder and chairman of OPKO’s ModeX Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on developing innovative, multi-specific biologic drugs for cancer and infectious diseases.
