His book Church, State, and Original Intent, which concerns the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2010.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] In 2015 Palgrave Macmillan published Why We Need the Humanities, which focuses on the relation of the humanities to the life sciences and to civil liberties.[12] [13] In 2021 Cambridge University Press published The Hollow Core of Constitutional Theory: Why We Need the Framers, which defends the idea that the intentions of the Framers ought to have a central role in constitutional interpretation.[14] He is also one of the authors of From Breakthrough to Blockbuster: The Business of Biotechnology, which was published in 2022 by Oxford University Press.[15] [16] [17]

He was educated at Dartmouth College (AB magna cum laude),[18] [19] Columbia Law School (JD Harlan Fiske Stone Scholar),[20] and Princeton University (MA, PhD in Religion).[21]

He is best known as the co-founder of two biotechnology companies, Medarex Inc. and Genmab A/S, both of which develop drugs used in monoclonal antibody therapy.[23] During his tenure as the founding CEO of Medarex, the company raised more than a billion dollars, entered into alliances with many other pharmaceutical companies, and spun off Genmab, which subsequently completed the largest biotechnology IPO in the history of European capital markets up to the time of the offering.[3] He was an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2005.[24]
