William Bynum reflects on the factors that have brought nine Nobel prizes to the UK Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. What makes an outstanding laboratory? There have been a number of these special places during the past couple of centuries, but none more so than the Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge, UK, which is celebrating 50 years since it got its own building and, this week, 50 years since four of its scientists were awarded Nobel prizes --- Max Perutz, John Kendrew, James Watson and Francis Crick.
...MoreDescription Focuses on laboratories in the United Kingdom in the 19th and 20th centuries, especially the Cavendish Laboratory, which became the Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge University.
