Whitesides pioneered developments in organic molecular self-assembly that have led to advances in material sciences and technology. His research in the field has been used to build devices millionths of an inch in size...
These tiny compositions have potential applications in electronics, ultra-sensitive probes and bio-molecular mimicry, which is currently being used to replicate proteins, genes and nerves...
Whitesides is credited with developing the first methods of altering molecules in the cells of mammals, and Whitesides’ contributions to organic molecular self-assembly are currently being implemented in constructing transistors that will aid in the development of smaller, faster computers. In addition, molecular self-assembly could potentially be used to develop minute, ultra-sensitive probes that will have the ability to pass through blood and search for disease...
...overall sense in my department [Molecular and Cellular Biology] is that very little opinion was recruited from the people whose expertise is in this area,” said Tarr Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Markus Meister. “It seemed like a lot of secret negotiations were going on before anything scientific was discussed with the Faculty...
...Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology Thomas P. Maniatis criticized the heavy-handed approach of the central administration...
