Four letters, A, C, G, and T are the language of life. Each letter by itself is meaningless, but together, the letters create a code of life. Through Geneticists efforts, we learn how to interpret this simple code. Currently, we are learning how to read and speak the language of inheritance. Simply by reading this life language, Geneticists of the future will tell us the life history of an organism.
Immunologists are detectives of disease.
When new diseases are found, immunologists develop many of the laboratory tests for diagnosis. By investigating the body's defense against diseases, immunization against disease often results from the work of immunologists. Immunologists continue to search for a new understanding of cancer, allergies, and emerging infectious diseases. Mycologists work with fungi. They explore the various uses of mold and yeasts for the production of antibiotics as well as food.
