Walter and Mary Elizabeth Glass Professor of Chemistry, Molecular Biosciences, and Medicine, Northwestern University, USA
Up-and-comers? Nikolai Slavov, single cell proteomics; Andrea Radtke (NIH), IBEX technology for multiplexed antibody-based imaging. I call them “Generation N.ext” – my informal name for the coming generation of trans-disciplinary scholars and entrepreneurs that will take us through 2050.
Biggest challenge? The justification of science & technology funding to the general public.
Heroes? Christopher T. Walsh, Fred McLafferty, Don Hunt, John Yates III and Ben Cravatt.
