Great Expectations

Monday 27 March 2006 20:00-20:30 (Radio 4 FM)

Peter Day follows the efforts of one of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies to develop a treatment for HIV/Aids.

It has already taken the world's largest pharmaceutical company years of research and millions of pounds and dollars to select and develop a new approach to treating HIV/Aids, and there is still no guarantee it will work in humans.

Peter Day has spent five years tracking the process to produce this unique diary of the hopes and fears, the risks and the rewards for the dedicated teams of specialists who combine to try to make a new drug.
