But I Felt It Necessary To Be

That Work Led To The Emergence Of The Recombinant Dna Technology Thereby Providing A Major Tool For Analyzing Mammalian Gene Structure And Function And Formed The Basis For Me Receiving The 1980 Nobel Prize In Chemistry.

By Then, I Was Making The Slow Transition From Classical Biochemistry To Molecular Biology And Becoming Increasingly Preoccupied With How Genes Act And How Proteins Are Made.

Moreover, The Concern Of Some That Moving Dna Among Species Would Breach Customary Breeding Barriers And Have Profound Effects On Natural Evolutionary Processes Has Substantially Disappeared As The Science Revealed That Such Exchanges Occur In Nature.

Looking Back, I Realize That Nurturing Curiosity And The Instinct To Seek Solutions Are Perhaps The Most Important Contributions Education Can Make.

But The Prospects Of Designing Chemical Plants For Industrial Scale Chemical Processes Seemed Far Less Interesting Than The Chemical Events That Occur In Biological Systems.
