One of the pioneers in bridging this gap is Thomas A. Waldmann, M.D., chief of the Metabolism Branch at the National Cancer Institute. Noting what he describes as the "bewilderingly rapid progress in biomedical research," Waldmann recalls that when he was in medical school in the 1950s, the immune system was largely a closed book. The function of the lymphocyte was unknown as was the difference between T and B cells, retroviruses had not been discovered, receptors for cells had not been discovered.
