Apr 30, 2024 · J. Craig Venter (born Oct. 14, 1946, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.) is an American geneticist, biochemist, and businessman who pioneered new techniques in genetics and genomics research and headed the private-sector enterprise, Celera Genomics, in the Human Genome Project (HGP).
American-born biochemist-geneticist J. Craig Venter is acknowledged, along with geneticist Francis Sellers Collins (1950-), as being a primary force behind the Human Genome Project. Venter, with private funding, and Collins, with public funding, independently mapped and sequenced human DNA.
In 2001, Craig Venter made headlines for sequencing the human genome. In 2003, he started mapping the ocean's biodiversity. And now he's created the first synthetic lifeforms — microorganisms that can produce alternative fuels.
The J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) is a non-profit genomics research institute founded by J. Craig Venter, Ph.D. in October 2006. The institute was the result of consolidating four organizations: the Center for the Advancement of Genomics, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), the Institute for Biological Energy Alternatives, and the J ...
Oct 10, 2013 · Because across town, Craig Venter was announcing that he had created life, inspiring my blog post Creating Life and Curing Blindness. My most surprising recollection of a Venter talk was at the 4th International Meeting on Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Complex Genome Analysis, held in Stockholm on October 10-15, 2001.
