The Harvey Lectures: Delivered Under the Auspices of The Harvey Society of New York, 2006 -2007

This latest volume in the Harvey Lectures Series reflects "the evolution of physiology and physiological chemistry into biochemistry and the development of molecular biology from the roots of bacteriology and biochemistry" in the 20th and 21st centuries. This lecture series, collected and published annually, provides a series of distinguished lectures in the life sciences by world-renowned scientists in all areas of biomedicine. These lectures occur in New York City throughout the course of each academic year.Content: Chapter 1 Drugging the “Undruggable” (pages 1–15): Gregory L.
