The trailblazing discoveries of Dr. Randy Jirtle have produced a far more complete and useful understanding of human development and diseases...
...required now by government authorities and policy makers. Church believes the key to ensuring safe research practice will be the development of advanced computer surveillance software to be used in laboratories internationally.
