...produce cancer in normal cells. Teams at M.i.T. and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y., reported that they could induce cancer in normal rat cells only by inserting at least two types of oncogenes into the cells. "A single oncogene produced some changes, but not cancer," explained Molecular Biologist Robert Weinberg of M.I.T. "It took two genes acting cooperatively to produce a tumor. In other cases, it might take three or more...
...Bright Wilson, Richards Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has done groundbreaking work in the field of molecular spectroscopy and determining the structure of molecules, using first infrared and later microwave radiation...
...Harvard, Wilson has been "a paragon of what you can hope for in a professor," according to Dudley R. Herschbach, Baird Professor of Chemistry, a former student of Wilson's. At 74, Wilson continues to do theoretical work on spectroscopy and molecular structure although his graduate students perform the actual experiments. Herschbach says...
...Bright Wilson has been among the pioneers in his field since the 1930s, when he co-authored a textbook on quantum mechanics with the chemist I must Pauling. He went on to write "Introduction to Scientific Research" (1952) and co-author an influential study on molecular vibrations...
