   Extractions: From a simple pond organism, Professor Thomas Cech discovered one of the secrets of RNA: the first example of a biochemical reaction catalyzed by RNA. His discovery led to an explosion of RNA research in the biological sciences and a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1989. Now, Professor Cech has two professional lives: still a professor of biochemistry at the University of Colorado , Boulder and since 2000, president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) in Chevy Chase, MD. In these two positions , Cech has been able to continue to pursue his passions: improving undergraduate education and carrying out RNA research. As president of HHMI, he oversees researchers who attempt to explain how the human body functions and why disease occurs. In addition to winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Cech is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

   Extractions: University of Colorado at Boulder Biography... Summary: Tom Cech and his group are working to understand the structure and function of catalytic RNA molecules and the activity and regulation of telomerase. A cell must orchestrate thousands of chemical reactions in order to live, to grow, and to respond to its environment. These chemical reactions rarely happen spontaneously but are usually catalyzed by macromolecules called enzymes. It was long thought that all enzymes were proteins. More recently we and others have found that RNA can in some cases act as an enzyme. The finding of RNA catalysis has several implications. First, it means that RNA is not solely a passive carrier of genetic information but can participate actively in directing cellular biochemistry. In particular, many RNA-processing reactions, as well as protein synthesis on ribosomes, are at least in part catalyzed by RNA. Second, the study of how RNA enzymes work may reveal hitherto unknown mechanisms of biologic catalysis. Third, RNA enzymes (ribozymes) have the potential to provide new therapeutic agents. For example, ribozymes efficiently cleave and thereby destroy viral RNAs under controlled laboratory conditions, making it plausible that ribozymes might be able to inactivate viruses in animals, including people.

   Extractions: President, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Good morning. It is a special pleasure to be back in Chicago, the city where I was born, and at the University of Chicago, where I have enjoyed many fine events through the years and have many colleagues. In fact, two former students from my laboratory became tenured faculty members here at the university. It is also a thrill for me to be able to talk about the future of education and research at universities with the people who are guiding these great institutions in the twenty-first century. We are already into this century, of course, but we still have ninety-nine years to make good on whatever we decide to do. Our invitation requested that we each talk about the past, present, and future of our own research disciplines. I was asked to speak before I had become president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, so I planned to give you a view "from the trenches," drawing on my twentythree years of carrying out research, teaching general chemistry and biochemistry to undergraduates, and teaching graduate students at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Now, having taken on the Howard Hughes position, I feel inclined also to address some higher-level issues. So this is going to be a discussion of what biological research is like and how it is changing, mixed in with a look at some of the ways that institutions might respond to new challenges.

    Extractions: Nobel Prize Laureate in Chemistry, 1989 To my mind, the most important new advance is the RNA [interference] approach for using information from the genome sequence to knock out particular gene products. That advance gets into functional genomics, which is a critical area. Just knowing the sequence can be tantalizing, but how is one going to understand whether a gene product is important and in what process? This is especially true in the human genome, where there are multiple, similar genes. You can find ten kinases that look highly related. The question becomes, are they redundant? Are some expressed in some tissues and not others? After all, beyond being able to use bioinformatics to find related genes, the next thing you want to know is how does their function differ and how is it similar? And RNAi is vastly more powerful than anything we have had. People who don’t even know how to spell RNA are able to use this successfully in diverse biological systems! Everything else is a rather impressive continuation of things that have been going on for the past decade. Clearly we have not peaked in appreciating the true value of the genome project. And we will see a rapid upswing, particularly in the bioinformatics tools that enable one to mine the genome sequences. These tools are still improving, and in the future they will be a lot better than they are now.

    Extractions: Cech discovered that the intron in rRNA catalyzes its own excision. The discovery that RNA can function as an enzyme has changed the traditional concept of an enzyme and is of major importance in our understanding of RNA functions. His work has already led to fundamentally new ideas about the origin and evolution of cell genetics. Tom Cech and his group are working to understand the structure and function of catalytic RNA molecules and the activity and regulation of telomerase. Awards and Prizes :
