Venki Ramakrishnan, Indian-born physicist and molecular biologist who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with Thomas Steitz and Ada Yonath, for his research into the atomic structure and function of cellular particles called ribosomes.
Apr 18, 2024 · In his new book, “ Why We Die: The New Science of Ageing and the Quest for Immortality ”, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Venki Ramakrishnan delves into the latest science of aging and investigates the nearly $30 billion dollar longevity industry to separate fact from fiction in our modern quest for immortality.
Venki Ramakrishnan started work on the structure of the ribosome at the University of Utah, before moving to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in 1999. Using X-ray crystallography, in 2000, his group determined the atomic structure of the 30S subunit, the part of the ribosome that reads the genetic code on mRNA.
