FasterCures, the Washington-based center of the Milken Institute, conducted the fourth annual Partnering for Cures meeting Nov. 28-30, 2012 in New York to advance the goal of bringing effective therapies to patients faster. Part of the meeting included an idea hatched by Mike Milken himself: “So many of these amazing doctors are musicians,” he told Musical Director Glen Roven, “I want you to put together a band of doctors.” Thus a live concert by the “Rock Docs” became a part of the meeting. Musical Director Glen Roven chose Medelita Lab Coats to outfit the 15 piece band of National Institute of Health leadership.

Wayne, MD - Head, Hematologic Diseases Section at National Cancer Institute; and John T. Burklow, Director, Office of Communications and Public Liaison, NIH.
