[edit] DESIGNS FOR LIFE
An important new study on the making of molecular biology and its cultural contexts.
Molecular biology has come in the past half century to dominate our perceptions of life, health and disease. In the decades following World War II, the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge was the undisputed centre of this emerging discipline. It was here that Crick and Watson, Kendrew and Perutz, Sanger and Brenner pursued their celebrated investigations. Soraya de Chadarevian's important new study is the first to examine the creation and expansion of molecular biology through the prism of this remarkable institution. Firmly placing the history of the laboratory in the postwar context, she illuminates how molecular biology was created as much at the bench and through the wide circulation of tools, models and researchers, as in governmental committees, international exhibitions and the television studio.
