Making the Centrifuge

Codon

Many discoveries — from microscopy to organic chemistry — came from German scientists working in a period of increasing industrialization, economic growth, and military mobility. Pharmaceutical and biotech researchers produce vaccines, extract DNA and RNA, separate nanoparticles, and prepare samples.

A Brief History of GFP

Codon

First, Hirata was so impressed with his young student that he granted him a PhD in organic chemistry in 1960. If a single gene could be expressed in any living organism to make this single-unit fluorescent protein, Prasher reasoned, then one could tag almost any gene or protein of interest and follow its progression inside a cell.
