Synthetisch leven was zijn streven,
maar kanker maakte ’n eind aan ’t leven
van Craig #Venter in Amerika,
ontrafelaar van ’t #DNA
en bijna God, al was ’t maar even.

Op de dood van Craig Venter.

Craig Venter (1946-2026), DNA-pionier die het kapitalisme in de genetica bracht

Serieondernemer en DNA-pionier Craig Venter ontregelde in de jaren negentig de medische wetenschap door te bewijzen dat je met een commercieel bedrijf óók enorme wetenschapsprojecten kunt uitvoeren. Zoals het in kaart brengen van het DNA van de mens, zijn grootste prestatie.

J. Craig Venter, who decoded the human genome, has died at 79

J. Craig Venter has died at 79. He mapped the first draft of the human genome. The J. Craig Venter Institute announced his death on Wednesday. He died in San Diego after being hospitalized for side effects from cancer treatment. In the 1990s, Venter used a different sequencing technique to speed up decoding the human genome. In 2000, his company Celera Genomics announced, along with the Human Genome Project, that they had decoded the 3.1 billion DNA sub-units, the chemical “letters″ that make up the recipe of human life. Venter's work helped scientists understand genetic causes for diseases.

A risk-taking outsider, he brought speed, competition and controversy to one of science’s biggest races.
Dr. #Venter, a risk-taker and intense competitor, made a bold move when he decided that the #HumanGenomeProject, a $3 billion government program for decoding the human genome, was moving slowly enough that he could enter the race late and beat it with a much faster method.
