One thread that has run throughout it has been my passion for science as a lens for looking at the world. In particular, I love connecting science to daily life. Pfizer’s recent campaign around “ Science Will Win ” similarly appealed to the ethos of the power of science to help humanity. Remember life’s Central Dogma.

It’s also where I got exposed to career options beyond academia and learned about Flagship Pioneering, a venture creation firm that conceives, resources, and builds life science bio platform companies in health care and sustainability. One of my mentors asked me if I was ready to fail 90 percent of the time.

The only subject in school that held my interest was biology. As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. I wanted to use molecular biology to create drugs. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA.

When choosing my bachelor’s degree, the choice was between pursuing a career in biology or in computer science. Biology won that battle, and I pursued a bachelor’s and master’s degree in biochemistry and molecular biology. In math and life and physical sciences, women now make up nearly half of the workforce.

But “progress in science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and new ideas, probably in that order,” said Nobel Laureate, Sydney Brenner. All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein. It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology.

Due to the nearly ubiquitous use of cloning in life science research, this lost time adds up. Proteins are colored blue and RNA molecules are colored orange and yellow. RNA and proteins comprise each ribosome, but the cell synthesizes these two biomolecules at different rates. The large and small ribosome subunits.

But the technologies devised in the process of trying may revolutionize other areas of science, especially reproductive biology. Biology is a Burrito. The central dogma is often depicted as DNA→RNA→protein, but it’s much more: A biophysical marvel inside the smallest of vessels. 15 of 31.

A T4 phage can hold 171,000 bases of DNA or other molecules, including proteins and RNA. It uses single-molecule RNA fluorescence to measure mRNAs and fluorescent reporters to measure the proteins. Future Nobel Laureate, Paul Berg, narrated the video, which quickly became a cult classic moment in molecular biology history.

I’ve chosen these two because I think they are the linchpin by which we’ll be able to build broadly useful AI models for cell and molecular biology. Scientists are already building a model that can, for example, look at which RNA molecules are expressed in a cell at t=0 and predict how those molecules will change at t=1.

But in the 1950s, at the dawn of molecular biology, scientists gained a new appreciation for it after searching for organisms that were easy to work with and quick to grow. 1 This singular organism has become the de facto microbe for molecular biology. Before World War II, few scientists used E. coli in their experiments.

By Matthew Cobb The Central Dogma is a linchpin for understanding how cells work, and yet it is one of the most widely misunderstood concepts in molecular biology. Many students are taught that the Central Dogma is simply “DNA → RNA → protein.”
