[bioundgrd] Gobind Khorana Biographical Memoir

[Amy E Keating]

To the Biology Department community,

I was happy to receive from Phil Sharp and Tom RajBhandary a wonderful biographical memoir that they wrote about our former colleague, the great biological chemist Gobind Khorana. The story of Gobind’s life and his many scientific discoveries and contributions can’t fail to inspire. Figure 3 in this piece shows a photograph of Gobind designing his next experiments at the blackboard, even as he sips champagne to celebrate his Nobel Prize (1968). I hope you will enjoy this piece.

The memoir is also featured on the memoirs page on the NAS website:

Best regards,
Amy
