Few people on earth are as impressive as Dr. David B. Agus. A physician who specializes in advanced oncology, he has in his time been research director of the Cedars-Sinai Louis Warschaw Prostate Cancer Center, head of the Laboratory of Tumor Biology at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and founding director and C.E.O. of the Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine in Los Angeles. He also chairs the Global Agenda Council on Genetics for the World Economic Forum.
As a doctor, he is credited with extending the life of Steve Jobs and treating Johnny Ramone. A 2013 Wired profile lists his friends as including Al Gore, the late Sumner Redstone, and will.i.am. He is a regular on television, an enthusiastic podcast guest, a serial award winner, and the author of several books.
