William F. "Bill" DeGrado, Ph.D., is the Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) [1] and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
I'm not trying to discredit Dr. DeGrado. Dr. Bertolino was a senior Director of Dermatology at Pfizer, which I thought was pretty impressive. Some said Dr. Menon's background was impressive also. But Prurisol failed, Kevetrin is on the shelf, and neither person is with the company anymore. We really don't know anything about the person besides what's written on their resume.
