Not named in 'Extraordinary Measures' film, Oklahomans' efforts still are gaining attention

The movie "Extraordinary Measures” features big-name stars, precocious child actors and life-and-death family drama "inspired by true events.”But it doesn’t feature Oklahoma City, where important research central to the film took place at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and Presbyterian Health Foundation Research Park.

It was not a rogue scientist working alone but a dedicated team of scientists from Genzyme and around the world who worked tirelessly to bring the drug Myozime to patients. Research is ongoing for a second-generation drug that we hope will continue to improve the quality of life for people who suffer with Pompe disease. -- Bill Canfield 0
