With further discovery and decoding of the rest of the human genome, such medical advances could be significantly enhanced. In the very long term, researchers have suggested that most genetically based disorders in humans could be corrected before birth, using molecular biology techniques...
...There are only one or two in the field of molecular biology who could propose doing something like this and be taken seriously," says Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry Allen M. Maxam. "Walter Gilbert is one of them...
...human genes' structure, which is divided into two types of sequeces--exons and introns. Such work is integral to understanding the very mechanism by which genes encode hereditary information. In addition, Gilbert's work includes an analysis of how the human imune system operates, as well as discovering the molecular basis for central nervous system's development...
