...You’re concentrating in history and science and taking my class?” my molecular biology professor asked. “So that must mean you’re pre-med, right...
...came here after having incredible science research mentors in high school, who had fostered my interests with scrupulous care and good humor. I had known early on that I was unlikely to pursue science as a career path, but I arrived in Cambridge freshman year determined to explore molecular biology during my time here. I had no career interest in the field, but I was intellectually passionate about the ideas I found...
Senior Lecturer on Molecular and Cellular Biology Robert A. Lue, a member of the review’s Committee on Science and Technology Education, presented a 24-page report calling for the creation of introductory life sciences and physical sciences courses that would provide the necessary foundation for concentrators while also serving as a useful base of knowledge for students who do not intend to take more courses in the sciences...
...Grier and graduate student Eric Dufresne were trying to build a new kind of "optical trap"--a device that splits a laser beam and uses it to capture particles of a single substance. They knew that multiple traps, used in tandem, could let scientists play traffic cops on a molecular level, separating a substance into component parts--removing bacteria from blood, for example. For a year, Grier and Dufresne had been trying out fancy glass splitters, but nothing had done the trick. As a joke, Grier tried a $5 piece of plastic. "It should not have worked," he says...
...Glaxo Wellcome (now GSK) in 1999 when he realized that his unconventional idea of how to find new drugs to attack disease-causing proteins might never be realized unless he pursued it himself. He founded Astex, based in Cambridge, England, so he could develop his own flexible approach to molecular research. He calls it "fragment based," because rather than throwing an entire proposed drug molecule at the target protein, he throws just pieces at a time...
