Gene Machine:
Everyone knows about DNA, the essence of our being, the molecule where our genes reside. But DNA by itself is useless without a machine to decode the genetic information it contains. The ribosome is that machine. Venki Ramakrishnan tells the story of the race to uncover its enormously complex structure, a fundamental breakthrough that resolves an ancient mystery of life itself.
Why We Die:
We are living through an exciting revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age, and why some species live longer than others. Will we soon be able to cheat disease and death and live for a very long time, possibly many times our current lifespan?
About the Author:
Venki Ramakrishnan (Venkatraman Ramakrishnan) is a Nobel Prize-winning Indian-born American-British structural biologist famous for mapping the atomic structure of the ribosome, crucial for protein synthesis, work that earned him the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is a prominent scientist at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge and served as President of the Royal Society from 2015 to 2020.
