Herbert Wayne "Herb" Boyer (born July 10, 1936) is an American biotechnologist, researcher and entrepreneur in biotechnology. Along with Stanley N. Cohen and Paul Berg, he discovered recombinant DNA, a method to coax bacteria into producing foreign proteins, which aided in jump-starting the field of genetic engineering.
Stanley Norman Cohen (born February 17, 1935) is an American geneticist [2] and the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in the Stanford University School of Medicine. [3] Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer were the first scientists to transplant genes from one living organism to another, a fundamental discovery for genetical engineering.
In 2019, Zayner launched a curriculum (Bioengineering 101 [21]) featuring a series of educational videos directed at those studying biotechnology for the first time. Zayner was featured in Unnatural Selection (stylized as " un natural selection"), a TV documentary series that presents an overview of genetic engineering, which was released on ...
Herbert Boyer helped found the first genetic engineering company in 1976. In 1976 Genentech, the first genetic engineering company was founded by Herbert Boyer and Robert Swanson and a year later the company produced a human protein (somatostatin) in E.coli. Genentech announced the production of genetically engineered human insulin in 1978. [75]
Colin MacLeod (1909–1972), Canadian-American co-discoverer that DNA is the genetic material Tak Wah Mak (born 1946), Chinese-Canadian molecular biologist, co-discovered human T cell receptor genes Gustave Malécot (1911–1998), French mathematician who influenced population genetics
In the new study, mice were created through genetic editing of mouse embryonic stem cells targeting a class of mammal-specific genes known as imprinted genes, of which there are about 200, the ...
Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Joshua Lederberg advocated cloning and genetic engineering in an article in The American Naturalist in 1966 and again, the following year, in The Washington Post. [3] He sparked a debate with conservative bioethicist Leon Kass, who wrote at the time that "the programmed reproduction of man will, in fact ...
Bipartisan bills introduced in Congress Thursday would effectively ban a Chinese genomics firm from doing business in America. Intel officials have warned China is grabbing U.S. genetic info.
