Institute celebrates anniversary
By Michael Doke
Of the Emerald
It’s been 25 years since the Institute of
Molecular Biology was founded at the University,
and this weekend the occasion will be marked
with an anniversary celebration.
Today and Saturday Oregon Gov. Vic Atiyeh
and four Nobel Prize winners will be on hand to
recognize the achievements of the institute. The
event will include a tribute to the contributions of
its founding director, Aaron Novick, former
biology head at the University who is retiring in
December. The late University biologist George
Streisinger, who died in August, will also be
honored there.
Attending the celebration will be James Wat
son and Alfred Hershey, both Nobel Prize win
ners from Harvard University’s Cold Spring Har
bor Laboratory in Long Island, New York. Fran
cois Jacob, a Nobel laureate at the Pasteur In
stitute in Paris, and Linus Pauling, an Oregon
native who received a Nobel Prize in both
chemistry and peace, also will be present.
Seymour Benzer, a Cal Tech biologist, will
give the first George Streisinger Memorial Lecture
at 3:30 p.m. today in Room 150 Geology. Benzer
will speak on “Genes, Neurons and Behavior in
Drosophila.’*
A day-long symposium will be held Saturday
at the Soreng Theatre in the Hult Center for the
Performing Arts. Atiyeh and Richard Hersh, vice
president for research at the University, will give
opening remarks at 9:30 a.m. Watson and Her
shey will introduce the speakers.
Jacob’s lecture is entitled “On Human Diver
sity," and Gunther Stent, a University of Califor
nia, Berkeley molecular biologist, will discuss
"Uniqueness in the Creations of Art and
Science.”
Pauling will discuss molecular structure and
molecular biology at 2:30 p.m.
Following Pauling’s talk, Mark Ptashne of
Harvard University will speak on how regulatory
proteins turn genes on or off. Another Harvard
biologist, Matthew Meselson, will conclude the
session with a talk entitled “Yellow Rain:
Chemical Warfare or Natural Phenomenon?”
The events are free and open to the public.
The University’s Institute of Molecular
Biology was established Jan. 1, 1959, to foster
research on the nucleic acids and proteins basic
to all living organisms and to train students in
research techniques. Institute research has con
tributed basic knowledge in such areas as clon
ing, the structure and functioning of the DNA
double helix and genetic enginnering.
Four of the institute’s 16 faculty members
have been elected as members of the National
Academy of Sciences.
