Biomedical Discoveries

Biomedical Discoveries When most people consider some of the most cutting-edge biomedical science today, from cloning to discovering new genes, they have little appreciation for the pioneering work that made such accomplishments possible. To remedy this and to help the public explore the evolution of biomedical discoveries, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has launched a new Web site, "Profiles in Science," that will allow people to walk in the footsteps of research pioneers—to examine the letters and laboratory notes and other unpublished findings surrounding landmark discoveries. The first profile is of Oswald Theodore Avery, MD, who identified DNA as the substance of genes. The NLM plans to add collections of the papers of other noteworthy scientists who laid the groundwork for modern genetics. The online digital collection will make it possible to access materials that previously could be examined only by visiting a number of libraries and archives. "Profiles in Science" can be found at http://www.profiles.nlm.gov. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
