To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So we believed that if you synthesized the gene for a human hormone and you hooked it up to the right control signals, you could get it. But no one had done it before so no one knew for sure. If you didn t believe that, you wouldn t have started the experiment. [laughs] But it was lucky that it worked as quickly as it did.
Hughes: In the presentation to Stanford, you talk about devoting Genentech s resources to one product area at a time, and that s what struck me about the focus of the company.... Another way would have been to hedge your bets and try several things at once. But you didn t see it that way?
Swanson: Well, we were a very tiny company. It was basically Herb and I, and Herb had his duties as a professor at UC, so there was one full-time employee. According to these agreements with the UC Board of Regents and Caltech and City of Hope, we were funding the research, which was research to establish, could we make a human hormone? We started out with the goal of doing insulin, and then based on the scientific input that this might be just a bit too far technically for the first step, we switched over to somatostatin, and that was what was done in 77.
