Co-founder of RNA splicing research.
He discovered that genes can be split and produce multiple proteins.
His work transformed molecular biology and genetics.
In 1944, he was born in the USA.
In 1967, he earned his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Illinois.
In 1977, he began pioneering research on RNA splicing.
RNA splicing research, studying how genes are cut and rejoined to make proteins.
It helps understand genetic regulation and disease mechanisms.
It supports drug development and biotechnology innovations.
In 1993, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
His discoveries reshaped genetics and molecular biology.
He currently serves as Institute Professor at MIT and leads RNA research programs.
