Includes bibliographical references.Featuring more than two hundred illustrations, a series of essays, and a conversation with the architects, this extensive volume introduces this project, whose first phase, consisting of eleven ambitious new buildings, a park, a square, various streets, and an underground parking garage, will be completed in 2009. The site of the St. Johann plant in Basel, headquarters of Novartis, a pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, will be transformed from a production complex into a research and administration center, or more precisely: into a campus for the dissemination of knowledge and the development of innovations.

Permanent markers : race, ancestry, and the body after the genome / by Abel, Sarah(Cultural anthropologist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The world in our DNA -- Geno-myths -- The geneticist's dilemma -- Technologies of the self -- Marked bodies -- Essential origins -- Historically modified organisms."Over the past twenty years, DNA ancestry testing has morphed from a niche market into a booming international industry that encourages members of the public to answer difficult questions about their identity by looking to the genome. At a time of intensified interest in issues of race and racism, the burgeoning influence of corporations like AncestryDNA and 23andMe has sparked debates about the commodification of identity, the antiracist potential of genetic science, and the promises and pitfalls of using DNA as a source of 'objective' knowledge about the past. This book engages these debates by looking at the ways genomic ancestry testing has been used in Brazil and the United States to address the histories and legacies of slavery, from personal genealogical projects to collective racial politics"--

The vaccine : inside the race to conquer the COVID-19 pandemic / by Miller, Joe(Correspondent),author.; Türeci, Özlem,author.; Şahin, Uğur,1965-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-270) and index.Prologue: the coventry miracle -- The outbreak -- Project lightspeed -- The unknowns -- The mRNA biohackers -- The tests -- Forging alliances -- First in human -- On our own -- It works! -- The new normal."Winners of the Paul Ehrlich Prize The dramatic story of the married scientists who founded BioNTech and developed the first vaccine against COVID-19. Nobody thought it was possible. In mid-January 2020, Ugur Sahin told Özlem Türeci, his wife and decades-long research partner, that a vaccine against what would soon be known as COVID-19 could be developed and safely injected into the arms of millions before the end of the year. His confidence was built upon almost thirty years of research. While working to revolutionize the way that cancerous tumors are treated, the couple had explored a volatile and overlooked molecule called messenger RNA; they believed it could be harnessed to redirect the immune system's forces against any number of diseases. As the founders of BioNTech, they faced widespread skepticism from the scientific community at first; but by the time Sars-Cov-2 was discovered in Wuhan, China, BioNTech was prepared to deploy cutting edge technology and create the world's first clinically approved inoculation for the coronavirus. The Vaccine draws back the curtain on one of the most important medical breakthroughs of our age; it will reveal how Doctors Sahin and Türeci were able to develop twenty vaccine candidates within weeks, convince Big Pharma to support their ambitious project, navigate political interference from the Trump administration and the European Union, and provide more than three billion doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to countries around the world in record time. Written by Joe Miller-the Financial Times' Frankfurt correspondent who covered BioNTech's COVID-19 project in real time-with contributions from Sahin and Türeci, as well as interviews with more than sixty scientists, politicians, public health officials, and BioNTech staff, the book covers key events throughout the extraordinary year, as well as exploring the scientific, economic, and personal background of each medical innovation. Crafted to be both completely accessible to the average reader and filled with details that will fascinate seasoned microbiologists, The Vaccine explains the science behind the breakthrough, at a time when public confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy is crucial to bringing an end to this pandemic"--
