...What they are trying to do is create an intellectual superman, and selecting winning Nobel Prize scientists is not the way to do it." Charles H. Townes (Physics, 1964) of the University of California at Berkeley dismissed the project as "snobbish," and the Salk Institute's Dr. Renato Dulbecco (Medicine, 1975) disqualified himself. Said he: "I was vasectomized long...
PHYSIOLOGY OR MEDICINE: Renato Dulbecco, 61, Howard Temin, 40, and David Baltimore...
Before discoveries made by this trio, doctors knew that viruses could enter a cell, seize control of its machinery and force it to reproduce copies of the viral invaders. Dulbecco, an Italian now working in London, demonstrated that the invaded cell's descendants showed the influence of the viral genes as well as its own. Temin, of the University of Wisconsin, and Baltimore, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, shattered what had been the central dogma of genetics: the belief that the master molecule DNA always passed information along to the messenger molecule RNA. The two researchers proved that...
California virologists: Italian-born Dr. Renato Dulbecco, 50, now at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, and Dr. (of veterinary medicine) Harry Rubin, 38, of the University of California. Starting with viruses that infect bacteria, Dr. Dulbecco went on to show the mechanism by which polyoma virus, which causes many animal cancers, infects cells. Most important was the striking and unexpected finding that the virus itself, which has a nucleus of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), does not need to multiply in order to cause cancer...
...Rubin, once a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Dulbecco's lab, worked with viruses that cause leukemia in fowl and have a nucleus consisting of ribonucleic acid (RNA). The work of these men, said the awards committee, "promises to contribute decisively to our eventual understanding of the nature of cancer...
