The problem is that I imagine getting any farther is extremely difficult, and I wouldn't be surprised if future breakthroughs come from the computational biology / geno/proteomics crowd instead. "How does changing the raw materials going into this mind-bogglingly complex collection of biochemical processes we call a body affect the whole?" is a rather difficult question to answer.
