Richard C. Wang, M.D., Ph.D., (left) talks with Daniel Siegwart, Ph.D., (center) and Lukas Farbiak, Ph.D., about their research into signal peptides (SPs), genetic sequences that serve as cellular “ZIP codes” to direct proteins produced from genetic material to where they are needed. The work could eventually lead to technology in which the human body produces its own drugs.
