For La Jolla resident Ronald Evans, director of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies’ Gene Expression Laboratory, cellular research is a bit like a treasure hunt. Every discovery, he says, is like picking the lock to a door that opens to a room full of jewels.
And for Evans and his lab staff, most rooms have other doors that could lead to other rooms to explore. Early in his scientific career, one of those “rooms” contained a discovery that would launch the field of molecular endocrinology (the molecular processes of hormones).
