Glenn’s donation will be used to fund the recruitment of two more professors who research the processes of aging and three technicians, including a mouse geneticist. Sinclair said that the professor search will begin next year...
...most well-respected molecular geneticist out there...
When I was a teenager, TIME published a cover asking "Is God Dead?" [April 6, 1966]. I believed this was the case and became a molecular geneticist. I thought I had found the Holy Grail in DNA. Maybe Hamer has found the gene in humans that is responsible for the continual creation of God in man's image, but the truth is a different matter altogether. It sets people free...
...University of California, San Francisco, meanwhile, molecular geneticist Cynthia Kenyon is taking a different approach to aging research, identifying a number of genes in roundworms that help stave off disease and extend life. One such gene directs the action of a receptor for insulin and an insulin-like hormone called IGF1, and by manipulating it along with other genes, she can increase the worms' life-span sixfold. "It's not so much that they're just living longer," she says. "What's remarkable about these worms is how healthy they...
DIED. EDWARD B. LEWIS, 81, Nobel-prizewinning geneticist; of cancer; in Pasadena, Calif. Using the lowly fruit fly, the Caltech professor was the first to explain how genes control the growth of a fertilized egg into a fully developed embryo. Further research has shown that the same mechanisms are at work in almost all animals, including humans...
