Represented within this series are his administrative records as Director of the Medical Research Council Laboratory (Molecular Biology and Molecular Genetics) in Cambridge and as President and Director of Science at The Molecular Sciences Institute, La Jolla and Berkeley. During this period (1979-2000) he was involved with many organizations and projects that are represented here as well, such as the Human Genome Mapping Project, the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Molecular Biology Organisation (EMBO), Recombinant DNA, and so forth.
