Since then, we also developed:
Antiretroviral therapy
Statins
First cancer immunotherapy
Laparoscopic surgery tools
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)

& more.

Urgent engagement in vaccine hesitancy to drive up vaccine rates in the UK.

Disentangling industries ties to research and govt groups.
