Other universities which have joined in the effort include Boston College, MIT, St. Mary's College of Maryland, the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan. Yale has not yet decided if it will participate...
...molecular biology but in all scientific accomplishment. In the mid-1950s, the U.S. government rapidly expanded the National Institutes of Health to underwrite and supplement the research of American biomedical scientists, many of whom have made their most important contributions while working in the nih laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland. One result of this strategy: since 1960, more than 50% of the winners of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine have been Americans...
...result of these discoveries, tests for the presence of genes that either cause disease or make people more susceptible to it are becoming increasingly available. "We are entering an era when disease will be predicted before it occurs," says William Haseltine, chairman of Human Genome Sciences, a Maryland biotech firm. "Medicine is basically going to change from a treatment-based to a prevention-based discipline...
...with a whole new pharmacopoeia of compounds to deal with mental disorders. "Today the psychiatrists who treat patients are working hand in hand with the 'wet-brain guys'--the pharmacologists, chemists and molecular biologists," says Dr. Steven Hyman, director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland.

"When you wanted to develop a new drug, you used to copy an old one that worked, add a little twist to the molecule...
