This week, a look at the journey from the chemist's lab to the plant.

Albert Jeltsch

Prof. Albert Jeltsch studied Biochemistry at Medical University of Hannover, where he received his PhD in 1994 working on restriction endonucleases. Afterwards, he started his work on DNA methyltransferases and moved to University of Giessen where he received his Habilitation in 1999. He was appointed as Assistant Professor in Giessen, and moved in 2003 as Associated Professor in Biochemistry to Jacobs University Bremen. Since 2006 he was Full Professor in Biochemistry, and 2011 he moved to University Stuttgart, where he is currently heading the Institute of Biochemistry and...Read more

Rudolf Jaenisch

Rudolf Jaenisch is a Founding Member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and a Professor of Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a pioneer in making transgenic mice, some of which have produced important advances in understanding cancer, neurological and connective tissue diseases, and developmental abnormalities and has explored basic questions such as the role of DNA modification, genomic imprinting and X chromosome inactivation.  The laboratory is renowned for its expertise in cloning mice and in studying the myriad factors that contribute to...Read more

Gerald Crabtree

Crabtree earned his B.S. in Chemistry and Mathematics from Western Liberty State College and his M.D. from Temple University. While at medical school, he became interested in laboratory research and started to work at Dartmouth College with Allan Munck on the biochemistry of steroid hormones. Studying gene regulation, he discovered hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 and started to focus on nuclear gene regulation.

After a short stint at the NIH, he started his lab at Stanford in 1985. Using T lymphocytes as a model system, he discovered the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT).[2]...Read more

Frances Hamilton Arnold

Frances Arnold is the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering and Biochemistry at Caltech, where her research focuses on protein engineering by directed evolution, with applications in alternative energy, chemicals, and medicine. Dr. Arnold pioneered the ‘directed evolution’ of proteins, mimicking Darwinian evolution in the laboratory to create new biological molecules. Her laboratory has developed protein evolution methods that are used widely in industry and basic science to engineer proteins with new and useful properties.Read more
