Roger D. Kornberg mapped how cells copy DNA's instructions into RNA — the molecular choreography that lets genetic code become action. The Nobel committee gave him chemistry's top prize in 2006 for cracking eukaryotic transcription at the structural level.
About
Born April 24, 1947, Kornberg built his career in biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine, where he holds a professorship in structural biology. His work zeroed in on a process every complex cell performs but few had visualized: the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA. By revealing the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription, he showed how the cell's reading machinery actually works. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry followed in 2006.
