Title: Studying Natural Products
Description: The National Cancer Institute's Natural Products Branch at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is the largest program to collect materials worldwide from marine, plant, and microbial sources so they may be studied for possible medical uses. Here, a technician studies a marine specimen. Both the shell and the animal within are ground and immersed in solvents to create extracts that will be tested in cancer assays.
