NY pilot study pushes Human Genome Project toward cures for disease

ics may even provide the means to address one of the great unsolved problems in molecular biologythe relationship between one-dimensional sequence information (the order of amino acids in a protein) and three-dimensional structure (the folds of the complete protein).

Rockefeller is renowned for its tradition of fostering breakthrough discoveries in protein and peptide chemistry. This strength was demonstrated once again in October 1999, when RU Professor and HHMI Investigator Gnter Blobel received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Blobel, who made the seminal discovery about how proteins are directed to their appropriate places in the cell, was the 20th scientist associated with the university to receive the award.

Rockefeller began in 1901 as The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, the first U.S. biomedical research center. Rockefeller faculty members have made significant achievements, including the discovery that DNA is the carrier of genetic information and the launching of the scientific field of modern cell biology. Thirty-three faculty members are elected members of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, including the president, Arnold J. Levine, Ph.D.
