🕰️ Throwback Thursday: Honoring the Pioneer - Har Gobind Khorana 🕰️ Dr. Har Gobind Khorana's monumental contributions to science extend far beyond anything of ordinary discovery. Dr. Khorana's pivotal work deciphering the genetic code earned him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968. His work in deciphering the genetic code marked a watershed moment in our understanding of life's fundamental language—DNA. Khorana's groundbreaking research led to the synthesis of the first artificial gene, a feat that unveiled the intricate code embedded within DNA strands. This groundbreaking achievement was instrumental in unraveling the genetic language that dictates the formation of proteins, the building blocks of life. His innovations extended to the synthesis of genes, showcasing that DNA could be chemically manipulated and recreated. This breakthrough laid the foundation for modern gene synthesis techniques, propelling the fields of biotechnology and genetic engineering into uncharted territories. As BioBuddy reflects on the achievements of this visionary scientist, let's embrace Khorana's spirit with his words, "The ultimate objective is to discover something new and original, to prove oneself, and to contribute to knowledge." #throwbackthursday #HGKhorana #IndianScientist #nobelprize #medicine #genetics #biotechnology #artificialgene #dnasequencing #proteins #scientist #mit #throwback #greatscience #extraordinary #geneticengineering #knowledgeispower #thursdaymotivation #sciencecommunication #geneediting #gene #inspirationdaily

Concluding this academic year in the best way possible, at the annual symposium of the Faculty of Biology at Utrecht University 👩🏻🏫 The theme of this year’s ‘Biology is Everywhere’ symposium was: 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 - 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴? 🤔 I had the chance to present our research on individual epigenomics and its potential in crime solving, alongside fantastic researchers: • Lucia Daxinger, who debated on the topic of epigenetic inheritance and presented exciting results on the regulation of complex gene clusters, • Jason Gardiner, who presented on the role of DNA methylation in creating phenotypic variation in plants, and • Richard Cardoso da Silva, who showcased fascinating examples of using engineered probes to read and interpret the chromatin code. Epigenetics IS everywhere, and it was interesting to hear similar concepts across disciplines; for example, on the impact of differentially/disregulated methylated repetitive elements and on stochastic methylation patterns 😍 I am grateful to Professor Tuncay Baubec for the kind invitation and the chance to meet new colleagues across the faculty. In the end, we celebrated summer with a nice bbq organized by the students! #epigenetics #epigenomics #interdisciplinary #symposium #DNAmethylation #chromatin #UtrechtUniversity #UU
