that is why I would probably call Dr Slamon the father of herceptin (responsible for its birth) rather than the inventor

Dr. Ullrich left Genentech many years ago. I do not know why, Maybe he too disagreed with their behavior

Unfortunate, Genentech is now part of an enormous multinational pharma so all the more difficult to influence.

As I said I do not want to detract from Dr Slamon in any way. Just pointing out whom the cancer researchers honor as the "inventor" and that they felt this was only one of many groundbreaking discoveries on his part. Should really try to look up what else he has done, because they felt this was just one of truly many discoveries that turned science on its head.
