... cloning of genetically engineered molecules. Cohen and Boyer first met at a conference in Hawaii, 1972. At that time, Boyer was a biochemist working at the University of California and Cohen was an associate professor at Stanford University. Boyer's laboratory had quite recently isolated an enzyme that could be used to cut strands of DNA into precise segments. These strands could be attached to ... consumed as foods. Some of these proteins could be food allergens. Recent research has shown that genetic engineering is causing previously safe foods to be allergenic. Scientists from the Univ...
