Life

Kary Mullis was born in NC on Thursday, December 28, 1944 (Baby Boomers Generation generation). He is 79 years old and is a Capricorn. Kary Banks Mullis is a Nobel Prize-winning American biochemist, author, and lecturer. In recognition of his improvement of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, he shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Michael Smith and earned the Japan Prize in the same year. The process was first described by Kjell Kleppe and 1968 Nobel laureate H. Gobind Khorana, and allows the amplification of specific DNA sequences. The improvements made by Mullis allowed PCR to become a central technique in biochemistry and molecular biology, described by The New York Times as “highly original and significant, virtually dividing biology into the two epochs of before P.C.R. and after P.C.R.” He has claimed that LSD helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences.

He obtained a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1972 Kary Barker Mullis attended Columbia, SC and BS Chemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology (1966), PhD Biochemistry, University of California at Berkeley (1972). Kary Mullis is a member of Richest Celebrities and Biologists.
