Description

The most humble creatures on earth sometimes reveal incredible solutions and secrets. GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein), naturally found in jellyfish, is a marker used in almost all biological laboratories. On this exciting episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry edited by Presley Vu, hosts Yeongseo Son and John Strojny talk about their interview with Nobel Prize Laureate Dr. Martin Chalfie, a University Professor at the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University. He was the first to succeed in transferring and expressing the Gfp gene in organisms other than jellyfish. He shares with us his humble, nonlinear journey as a scientist as well as his astounding discoveries. We hope you enjoy!
