J. Craig Venter Livres
14 octobre 1946
Le Dr J. Craig Venter s'impose comme une figure scientifique majeure du 21e siècle, célèbre pour ses contributions révolutionnaires à la génomique. Ses travaux pionniers incluent le premier séquençage et analyse du génome humain, modifiant fondamentalement notre compréhension du code de la vie. Venter est également un leader clé dans le domaine de la génomique synthétique, visant à concevoir des micro-organismes pour des solutions énergétiques et environnementales cruciales. Sa production scientifique prolifique et ses rôles de leadership confirment son statut de force motrice dans la découverte biologique moderne.
Craig Venter is no ordinary scientist, and no ordinary man. He is the first human being ever to read their own DNA - and see the key to life itself. This book tells the story of his life: from teenage rebel and Vietnam medic, to sailor and maverick researcher, whose race to unravel the sequence of the human genome made him both hero and pariah.
