The first person awarded with a patent for a gene -Dr Ananda Mohan Chakrabarty

Dr.Ananda Mohan Chakrabarty is a distinguished Indian-American Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

His most notable creation is a biology-based solution for cleaning up toxic oil spills using the generically engineered bacteria-Pseudomonas (today classified as Burkholderia cepacia or B. cepacia).

Listen to his interview about his great work here at BiotechNation.

It is great hearing from a renowned Professor.

Don't miss it.
