Lambowitz is also affiliated with Ohio State's departments of biochemistry and medical biochemistry and Ohio State's Biotechnology Center. It relieves the investigator of the duty of writing frequent, lengthy grant applications to continue research funding. By studying them, we hope to learn about gene structure and function in higher organisms and viruses. We think the introns are remnants of virus-like entities that entered the genetic material at an early stage in evolution. The work of Lambowitz and his colleagues focuses on how introns are removed from genetic material to permit the synthesis of proteins.
