The two biochemists met in the late 1980s, soon after Smith arrived at Immunex.
The facility plans to hire 80 more senior chemists and biochemists within the next two years.
Biochemists have long demonstrated that different forms of energy can sustain life.
To put together its list of 14 "challenges, " a panel of scientists sifted through recommendations from 1, 000 researchers--from biochemists to mathematicians--around the world.
"You have to remember that the best biochemists on the planet are probably organisms, " said Paul Mankiewicz, of the Gaia Institute, which works on environmental issues.
Biochemists, doctors and entomologists are all being drafted in the fight against malaria and AIDS, as Elizabeth Corcoran says in her article (see "Chutzpah Science") on the Gates Foundation.
In 1978, a new university principal, ignoring the fact that the department had wildly overspent its research budget, decided the biochemists were Dundee's best hope for stardom and gave them lots of space and more money.
Leonard Rome and Valerie Kickhoefer, biochemists at the University of California, Los Angeles, and their colleagues reckon that vaults are exactly the right size and shape (they have the correct eightfold symmetry) to form the central plugs of these complexes.
Biochemists spent 14 years deconstructing DNA into about 25, 000 genes and 1.4 million variations in DNA that make an individual unique, their SNPS, looking for patterns in the data to find useful insights that can improve the quality and lower the cost of health care.
FORBES: The Future Of Search: Better Living Through Algorithms
"The fun of the challenge from the science perspective is that you do have farmers and biologists and entomologists, and biochemists and chemical engineers, and process engineers and business people and investors all working to solve this, and it ranges anywhere from a political issue to a technical issue, " del Cardayre said.
