Pills and injectable drugs are tangible objects that are external to us, but upon consumption, they transform us and even constitute us. They are simultaneously embedded in huge economic processes and literally vanishingly small-scale. Pharmaceuticals are made to cross the boundaries of the body, to calibrate or modify it. Our drugs don\u0027t simply \u0022cure\u0022 us. They transform both our bodies and our diseases in ways we can\u0027t predict or understand by looking at either in isolation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Enbrel and the Autoimmune Era\u0022"}],"uid":"27725","created_gmt":"2013-06-24 10:32:54","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:14:23","author":"Carol Senf","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-06-24T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-06-24T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"198431":{"id":"198431","type":"image","title":"Anne Pollock","body":null,"created":"1449179918","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:58:38","changed":"1475894851","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:31","alt":"Anne Pollock","file":{"fid":"196498","name":"img_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_0_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/img_0_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":27275,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/img_0_0.jpg?itok=LiFW0lOR"}}},"media_ids":["198431"],"groups":[{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"10073","name":"pharmaceuticals"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:anne.pollock@lmc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eanne.pollock@lmc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
