...parents' worries about the mere possibility of inhaling peanut dust prompted airlines to stop serving the popular flight snack. There has been no such treatment for passengers with milk or egg allergies, which are more common but also more likely to be outgrown.

LaBaer, the founder and current director of the Institute of Proteomics at Harvard Medical School, is one of a handful of innovators in the relatively new field of proteomics, the study of protein structure and function. He said that he wanted to accept the offer in order to focus more on his career goal: developing personalized medicine technologies that would allow doctors to treat patients by tailoring medicines to their individual genomes. LaBaer’s research in proteomics is a crucial towards...
