Opportunities in Biology
Author: National Research Council (US)
Opportunities in Biology is a comprehensive report examining the state of biological research and emerging research opportunities in the late 1980s. Prepared by the National Research Council's Committee on Research Opportunities in Biology, the report highlights the growing importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the transformative role of new technologies in advancing biological sciences. The book reviews major developments in biological research and instrumentation, including recombinant DNA techniques, monoclonal antibodies, flow cytometry, microscopy, magnetic resonance, and computer-based data analysis. It also addresses a broad range of biological disciplines, including cell biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, ecology, evolution, plant biology, and industrial biotechnology. Beyond reviewing scientific advances, the report identifies promising directions for future research and discusses the infrastructure required to support scientific progress. Its recommendations address research funding, information systems, scientific facilities, and institutional support. The book is therefore particularly relevant to researchers, research administrators, and science-policy professionals interested in the development and organization of biological research.
