FUTURE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Anna Treohan 1993 Woodrow Wilson Biology Institute INTRODUCTION The recent emphasis on environmental awareness has challenged scientists to find solutions for better and safer living conditions. The added threat of deadly diseases such as AIDS and resistant strains of tuberculosis and gonorrhea have forced scientists to look for new therapies within the field of biotechnology. The structure of DNA was deciphered by James Watson‚ a geneticist‚ and Francis Crick‚ a
