Hoechst A.G. of Frankfurt, an international chemical firm, is giving MGH the money over the next ten years so that the hospital can establish a new department of molecular biology and support basic research in that field. In exchange for the grant, Hoechst will have the right to profit from the research results before other companies gain access to the findings and to obtain exclusive licenses to develop to develop commercial products using the research results. MGH, however, will own any patents developed under the agreement...
...allay fears that academic freedom might be compromised by the agreement. MGH officials arranged for safeguards, including a guarantee that investigators in the new molecular biology department be able to choose their own research projects and that they have freedom to control the time and place for announcing their findings to the public, without interference from Hoechst. "Research will be sponsored, but not directed by the company," Dr. Charles A. Sanders, director of MGH. assured...
...precisely this end at which Astro 8 is aimed.

Knowledge of these subjects is critical to every student's education...

Harvard's participation in such a company would have involved a major role for Ptashne...
DIED. Max Delbrück, 74, molecular biologist whose pioneering research on bacteriophages (viruses whose genetic matter "invades" or "infects" bacteria) laid the foundation of modern molecular genetics and won him a Nobel Prize in 1969; of cancer; in Pasadena, Calif...
