By bombarding matter with particles in the cyclotron, radioactive isotopes, such as carbon-14, were generated. Using carbon-14, the order of events in biochemical reactions could be elucidated, showing the precursors of a particular biochemical product, revealing the network of reactions that constitute life. Kamen was a major worker in this field. 60-inch cyclotron, circa 1939, showing beam of accelerated ions (perhaps protons or deuterons) escaping the accelerator and ionizing the surrounding air causing a blue glow. ...

Kamen met with Grigory Kheifets and Grigory Kasparov, KGB officers at the Soviet San Francisco consulate on 1 July 1944. He was fired from the Manhattan Project in 1944 when security officers overheard him discussing atomic research with Kheifets. A Congressional investigation established Kheifets received classified information on uranium stockpiles from Kamen.

Some time during the 1980s, Kamen became a member of the "faculty" at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, the think tank which was responsible for the controversial Oregon Petition. The purpose of this petition was to show a lack of consensus among scientists on the subject of global warming. The text accompanying the petition has since come under attack for being deceptively written. The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) describes itself as a small research institute that studies biochemistry, diagnostic medicine, nutrition, preventive medicine and the molecular biology of aging. ...
