We are all molecular biologists now

Designs for Life: Molecular Biology after World War II by Soraya de Chadarevian Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK 423 pages, £55.00 ISBN 0 521 57078 6 ![][1] Given that the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the structure of DNA is approaching, it is particularly apposite to review the early history of molecular biology as this field developed in Britain after World War II. Focusing on the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (otherwise known as the LMB) in Cambridge, Soraya de Chadarevian describes the political, social and intellectual forces that led to the establishment of an institution that has not only spun‐off other major research institutes, but has also served as a model for the ethos and practice of modern biological research. As a historian, Soraya de Chadarevian does not rely on the often imperfect recollections of protagonists. Instead, she has based the story on contemporary documents and so provides a unique perspective on the various strands of research that coalesced into molecular biology as we know it today. The book is full of fascinating insights and intriguing nuggets. For example, the now … [1]: /embed/graphic-1.gif
