My Significant Mentor
Lipoprotein research and electron microscopy at Donner Laboratory
Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of northern California, the West, and the nation.Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive addi…
Operators and Promoters: The Story of Molecular Biology and Its Creators (review)
Harrison Echols, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, made the writing of this book his central task in the six years remaining to him after a diagnosis of cancer in 1986. When he saw his time running out he entrusted his wife, Carol Gross (also a molecular biologist), with the completion and editing of the nearly finished draft. Dr. Gross and other scientists wrote "several small sections" (p. xviii) that Echols had l…
Viruses, Plagues, and History (review)
Michael Oldstone has written a book for the general reader that makes explicit the inextricable interaction of disease and society. Focusing on the major viral diseases afflicting humankind, he has felicitously integrated synoptic views of their history and their science. His book, as he explains in the preface, "was conceived in the spirit of Paul de Kruif's Microbe Hunters" (p. ix), which induced many young people, including Oldstone, to elect …
Making Dollars out of DNA: The First Major Patent in Biotechnology and the Commercialization of Molecular Biology, 1974-1980
In 1973-1974 Stanley N. Cohen of Stanford and Herbert W. Boyer of the University of California, San Francisco, developed a laboratory process for joining and replicating DNA from different species. In 1974 Stanford and UC applied for a patent on the recombinant DNA process; the U.S. Patent Office granted it in 1980. This essay describes how the patenting procedure was shaped by the concurrent recombinant DNA controversy, tension over the commerci…
