Arriving as a visiting professor, Knowles became a permanent member of the chemistry department the following year. Having accepted tenure, he was given a lab in the Mallinckrodt building, overseeing the work of 15 researchers...
Knowles’ work at the lab bench helped revolutionize drug discovery through his research on enzymes, which are organic molecules that speed up biological reactions. He helped explain the function of enzymes through discoveries that guide drug development to this day by allowing scientists to specifically target enzymes involved in certain illnesses...
...When he was asked to be dean,” Bok recalled more than a decade later, “he replied, ‘This is really not the best time for me to leave the lab,’ which is a really nice reaction...
...immune system does best - whips up antibodies. If the vaccine is successful, the antibodies will wipe out the targeted disease the next time it shows up. Best yet, researchers can test hundreds of different donors from a diverse genetic pool, a feat that's impossible to replicate with lab animals since they are bred to be genetically similar. "The information you get from this type of test is far and beyond what you'd get out of a mouse study," says Michael Rivard, vice president of corporate development at VaxDesign, "both because it's humans and because...
...there's one thing that a life spent mending broken bodies makes you, it's realistic. Most surgeons are quite realistic about capitalism. We see its very essence, the power of monetary incentive, over nearly everyone in our world. We see it in the extra lab tests that please patients as well as pay (and protect) doctors, in the fleet of blank-faced bureaucrats floating to their next paychecks on rivers of inane hospital regulations, and in the TV drug ads for restless legs, erectile errors and feminine itches. We know what they're after...
