About / Bios / J. Craig Venter Research Interests and Accomplishments J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., is regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his numerous invaluable contributions to genomic research. He is Founder, Chairman, and CEO of the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), a not-for-profit, research organization with approximately 300 scientists and staff dedicated to human, microbial, plant, synthetic and environmental genomic research, and the exploration of social and ethical issues in genomics. Dr. Dr. In 1998, Dr. Dr. Dr. Select Publications Anousheh Ansari Anousheh Ansari (Persian: انوشه انصاری; née Raissyan;[4] born September 12, 1966, in Mashhad, Iran) is an Iranian-American engineer and co-founder and chairwoman of Prodea Systems. Her previous business accomplishments include serving as co-founder and CEO of Telecom Technologies, Inc. (TTI). Early life[edit] Anousheh Ansari was born in Mashhad, Iran. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering and computer science at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and her master's degree at George Washington University in Washington D.C.[5][10][11] After graduation, Anousheh began work at MCI, where she met her future husband, Hamid Ansari. Ansari resides in Plano, Texas. Business career[edit] In 1993, she persuaded her husband, Hamid Ansari, and her brother-in-law, Amir Ansari, to co-found Telecom Technologies Inc, using their savings and corporate retirement accounts, as a wave of deregulation hit the telecommunications industry.

Burt Rutan Elbert Leander "Burt" Rutan (born June 17, 1943) is an American aerospace engineer noted for his originality in designing light, strong, unusual-looking, energy-efficient aircraft. He designed the record-breaking Voyager, which was the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, and the sub-orbital spaceplane SpaceShipOne, which won the Ansari X-Prize in 2004 for becoming the first privately funded spacecraft to enter the realm of space twice within a two-week period. He has five aircraft on display in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., United States: SpaceShipOne, the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, Voyager, Quickie, and the VariEze.[1] Life and career[edit] Born in 1943 in Estacada, Oregon, 30 miles southeast of Portland, and raised in Dinuba, California, Rutan displayed an early interest in aircraft design. In 1982, Beechcraft contracted Rutan's Scaled Composites to refine the design and build the prototype Beechcraft Starship. Homebuilts[edit]

Hutchison III Hutchison Home Page -- Research -- Publications -- Hutchison Laboratory -- Academic and Research Affiliations -- Contact Clyde -- Professional CV -- Non-Scientific Interests MOLECULAR GENETICS Research Interests This laboratory has carried out investigations on biological systems ranging from bacteriophage to mice. The unifying theme has been a continuing search for improved methods to learn about gene function from DNA sequence information. We have been involved in genomics since before the advent of modern DNA sequencing. Clyde and Marshall Edgell dissected the genome of phage phiX174 with restriction enzymes in the 1970's, and Clyde was a member of the team in Fred Sanger's lab that sequenced the phiX174 genome; the first DNA molecule completely sequenced.
