first as a student at m.i.t. and then at rockefeller. chose to work on viruses because they were the simplest form of life and i thought we could make advances that took advantage of the knowledge of the centrality and the structure that had been elucidated in 1953. it was the only organism, if you can call a virus and organism, that you could begin to understand its fundamental nature. by the end of the 1960's, i realized the only thing we had left to understand in virology would be -- because the rest of it was still happening. as we all know. and so i set out to understand rna viruses. the transition of dna to rna. to really understand how an rna virus could exist, to cause cancer, that could permanently change the way a cell grew. luckily i found the path to showing that the virus particle itself had a -- that could reverse the flow of information, and therefore prepare a molecule that could modify the behavior of the cell. we at that point suspected, although i must say we did not know yet, that the way these viruses control cells i

and then a few years later m.i.t.stablished the bask cancer center under the guidance of another nobel prize winner, a great friend and a leader in science. that led to my recruitment to m.i.t. down the hall from dave baltimore, which was a major inducement for my accepting that position. i have seen this blossoming of our knowledge of the cell due to the contributions of enormous community. but that community was nucleated and supported by leadership and the resources and the national effort to have impact on the lives of patients by advancing our understanding of cancer and treatment of cancer and control of cancer. and that has been an enormous success story. >> david, you started your attention to dna, and we are looking today at being able to do genetic engineering and crisper, et cetera. from your perspective, what was that trajectory like? and what was the impact of having the national cancer act andn the nci? >> well, as opposed to phil, i started working in virology in 1960-'61, first as a student at m.i.t.,
