Molecular Biology, Nucleic Acids, and the Future of Medicine

It seems particularly fitting, in this symposium, to try to assess the prob able and possible impact of molecular biology and its important com ponent, the structure and function of nucleic acids, on the future of medicine. Although I attempt specific predictions with considerable trepi dation, not being qualified in either fortunetelling or medicine, I do so in the firm belief that the findings and concepts of molecular biology will play a leading role in the future of medicine. Medicine, after all, primarily involves the application of biological concepts and understanding to the health and welfare of man.
