Medical Research: The Agony and The Ecstasy

Lee Hartwell gives the 28th annual faculty lecture on basic scientific research. The 2001 Nobel Prize winner also discusses his work on "checkpoint" genes, the genes that notice when mistakes have been made during cellular reproduction. These alterations are similar in both yeasts and human cells, and are frequently the beginning of cancers.
