...more communication among scientists is always better than less, and besides, there may be more engineering to beating cancer than people realize. MIT, which knows a thing or two about designing things, is building a $100 million research center that will put together biologists and chemists with engineers skilled in such arts as nanofabrication. "We are going to breed a group of people who are totally aware of the cancer problem and totally aware of the modern tools and computational powers of engineers," says Sharp...
...MIT plans to make dream-team proposals, which Sharp views as a chance to loose the forces of science on the particularly diabolical forms of cancer. One of MIT's strategies is to build nanomolecules that, when injected into the body, can hunt for cancer cells, bind to them and deliver therapies directly to the bad cells; or to build nanomolecules that could locate abnormal genes and silence them. "It's MIT," says Sharp. "We shake and bake...
