The Center for Advanced Biotechnology focuses on the development of new methodologies and biological materials. Among the new materials are genes involved in human behavior and particular human diseases such as schizophrenia, breast cancer, hypertension, and DNA analogs potentially suitable as new gene-specific drugs. Among the new methodologies are techniques for much more rapid DNA sequencing, improved techniques for faster genetic and physical mapping, methods for controlling the fate of environmentally released microorganisms, much more sensitive methods for DNA and antigen detection, potentially useful in new diagnostic tests, and novel blood cell uses.
