Dr. Michael Pierce

A University of Georgia researcher's discovery of an enzyme implicated in cancer may lead to a revolutionary new breed of treatments aimed at preventing the spread of cancer. Michael Pierce, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, is searching for an inhibitor of this enzyme – an injectable substance that would bind to the enzyme and prevent or slow the migration of cancer cells.

REPEATED SUCCESS: Researchers at UGA announced a technique which may dramatically improve the success rate of cattle cloning, and displayed eight cloned cattle, ranging in age from two months to four months, as evidence of their success. As little as two years ago, the highest rate of success for cloning attempts was one in 20; the new technique has a success rate of one in seven, almost three times as high. (June 26, 2001)
