Though traditional plant breeding techniques have done wonders in the past, they are simply not working fast enough. Advanced genetic engineering and tissue-culture techniques may be the only hope. Molecular biologists and giant corporations are at last turning their attention, long concentrated on medicine and drugs, to plants. By manipulating the genetic makeup of plant cells and regenerating those cells in test tubes and Petri dishes, scientists will soon be creating plants with characteristics that might have taken a decade to develop by traditional crossbreeding techniques. The possibilities for farmers, scientists and some financiers are breathtaking: crops that manufacture...
...hypothesize that all solid tumors make this kind of substance. Our primary goal is to identify it and purify it," Bruce R. Zetter, one of the researchers and assistant professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics in surgery at the Harvard Medical School, said yesterday...
...that University administrators and members of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology finally gathered to dedicate the department's new building, work still remained on labs and office space in the structure. The irony was lost on few who attended...
...festive ceremony marking the end of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology's 14-year quest for its own headquarters, the University formally dedicated the new Sherman Fairchild Biochemistry Building yesterday afternoon...
...scientists have begun to work on their technological developments in the most lucrative, convenient and logical places possible: profit-making industries. They have been actively sought. Many of the newly emerging firms list top-university faculty members among their founders. At Harvard: Walter Gilbert, American Cancer Society Professor of Molecular Biology and chairman of Biogen, Inc.; Mark Ptashne, professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and founder of Genetics Institute; and Thomas Roberts, assistant professor of pathology at the Medical School and one of the principal movers behind Biotechnica...
