BIOGRAPHY:
Kary Mullis didn't need any encouragement to love chemistry; he'd always felt pulled toward it. After years of study and research, he received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993 for his invention of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The process, which Kary conceptualized in 1983, is hailed as one of the monumental scientific techniques of the twentieth century. He is a Distinguished Researcher at Children's Hospital and Research Institute at Oakland. Kary serves on the board of scientific advisors of several companies, provides expert advice in legal matters involving DNA, and is a frequent lecturer at college campuses, corporations and academic meetings.
