>> Gary Hammer, M.D., Ph.D.: It's a very unique relationship I have with my patients.
With the intensity of what they're going through, my involvement with them at this,
the most vulnerable time in their lives is profoundly moving and important to me.
That trust is sacred, and that's what inspires me.
That's what makes us take this on from all fronts.
Eighty percent of my time is in the lab.
We're researching new treatments like targeted therapies,
studying defects in the adrenal stem cells.
I'm in Washington working on bills and going after grants so that what we do here,
the treatment is grounded in the science.
That's the way you make headway on this.
You know, you hold their hand, and you can't help but think you're going to fight this
with them with everything you've got, and that's what we do.
