So when I was asked recently to share advice to a group of undergraduate students doing research at Penn State, I was drawn to the idea of connecting scientific principles to some life lessons. The central dogma of molecular biology is that information generally (with few exceptions) flows from DNA to RNA to Protein.

As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs. I am now at the end of a career that has comprised nearly 10 years of academic research and 35 years in biotechnology. However, that was 1972, and the biotechnology industry did not exist.

In this blog, we look at some of the bioluminescent tools that have been developed from proteins isolated from luminescent organisms flourishing in these environments. Researchers eventually cloned the genes encoding different luciferase enzymes to overexpress these light-emitting proteins for further study.

They are often the method of choice to detect or measure specific biological molecules (analytes) for diagnostics, drug discovery or fundamental research. Early beginnings ELISAs were first developed in the mid-1970s independently by two research groups. Many proven applications The use of ELISAs has flourished in the life sciences.
