Until quite recently, that wouldn't have been a smart bet. The idea of harnessing microbes to do a doctor's bidding flourished briefly in the 1960s, during the early days of the genetic revolution. Scientists sketched out grand plans for treating disease by adding or removing genes taken from...
Forty years later, scientists know a lot more about genes and proteins and how to target microbes so that they home in on one particular kind of cell--a cancer of the ovary, for example, or a tumor in the throat. They have also learned to affix molecular tracking devices...
Ideal Mate Then: Definitely honest, good genes, intelligent, strong-willed. She must be humble and modest.
Associate Professor of Pathology David Sinclair, whose team discovered the group of genes responsible for aging, will direct the new laboratories. Sinclair’s lab is currently investigating the molecular pathways of calorie restriction, which they have shown increases the lifespan of flies and yeast.
Schier specifically looks at the genetics of mutant zebrafish, studying what genes are missing in the mutant fish and seeking to relate these genes to particular functions.
