Builders work on exterior corner of a
nearly complete Bldg. 33. Construction of the interior is
also shaping up. |
Construction of Bldg. 33 is nearly 85 percent
finished and should be substantially complete by year’s end,
according to Kyung Kim, project officer, Office of Research Facilities
Development and Operations. Occupants are expected to begin moving
in during spring 2006.
Located at the corner of Rockville Pike and Cedar Lane, the new
facility was in January formally named the "C.W. Bill Young Center
for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases," in honor of the
U.S. congressman from Florida currently serving his 18th term in
the House of Representatives. A longtime promoter of health issues
and supporter of medical research, Young founded the national registry
for bone marrow donors, chair-ed the House committee on appropriations
for 6 years, led the subcommittee on defense twice and was vice chair
of the health appropriations subcommittee for 8 years.

By Marcia Vital |
NIH is filled with successful scientists, but "successful" does
not even begin to describe the life and career of Dr. Gary Felsenfeld,
chief of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, NIDDK.
Recently, NIDDK's Division of Intramural Research and the Foundation
for Advanced Education in the Sciences held a tribute to Felsenfeld's
career titled, "DNA and Its Complexes." Friends, colleagues and
admirers honored the man and his science in a day filled with scientific
presentations focused on research involving DNA-protein interactions
relating to transcription.
