"Molecular Structures in Post-genomic Research"

Professor Kurt Wüthrich, 2002 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry

The determination of the human genome and the genomes of a large number of other species carry great promise with regard to improving the quality of life worldwide. New advances are expected in many different fields, including agriculture, nutrition and healthcare. Realization of these advances will have to be based on detailed knowledge of the proteome and other gene products, in addition to the genomic DNA sequences. This lecture will reflect on strategic and practical aspects of this post-genomic research.
