During the DNA debate, I insisted that fame and fortune were reasons for science wanting to push ahead too fast. Not the only reason, but reasons. Now that Walter Gilbert has won the Nobel Prize and has made a fortune with Biogen, Inc., it would be nice if he wrote to me and admitted that I was right...

Questions also remain about the miracle drug interferon. Genentech and Biogen of Switzerland have each developed a multipurpose form of the drug that is now being tested on humans and could be on the market by late 1984. So far, interferon is showing good results against a variety of noncancerous tumors but less promise against cancer. Says Biogen Chairman Dr. Walter Gilbert, a Nobel prizewinner: "The industry has proved it can make these drugs in commercial amounts. Whether they are useful against diseases like cancer and herpes, or even the common cold, depends on these medical tests...
...known for awhile that major chromosome rearrangements occur in cancer cells," said Dr. Richard A. Flavell, head of the research department at Biogen, a Cambridge-based genetic engineering firm, said yesterday. "But now we know that thought near management can emanate from the some places that certain antibody genes are made," he added...
...Harvard and MIT create many opportunities for research and development, small management, and consulting firms which rely on the resources and manpower of the two universities. Most recently, genetic research firms have shown a great interest in Cambridge. Four firms are trying to locate in the area, and one Biogen, has already moved in and is planning to expand its operation in Kendall Square...
