Abstract
The development of recombinant DNA techniques, monoclonal antibody techniques and microchemical instrumentation has revolutionized modern biology. These biotechnologies operate in a synergistic fashion to expand enormously the repertoire of biological problems that can be effectively approached. Moreover, they have had a profound impact on shortening the time between fundamental observations and their application to human physiology and medicine. In this paper we describe a selection of ongoing projects in our laboratory to develop additional or improved components for the microchemical facility.
