Venki Ramakrishnan to be next president of Royal Society

Sir Venki, who is deputy director of 바카라사이트 Medical Research Council¡¯s Laboratory for Molecular Biology in Cambridge, will take over from fellow Nobel laureate Sir Paul Nurse on 1 December.

He shared 바카라사이트 Nobel Prize for chemistry in 2009 ¡°for studies of 바카라사이트 structure and function of 바카라사이트 ribosome¡±: 바카라사이트 molecular machinery in cells that turns genetic information into proteins.

Last year he spoke to 온라인 바카라 about winning 바카라사이트 prize, recalling how he spent most of his prize money on buying a 19th-century Italian cello for his son, who is a professional musician.

Sir Venki studied physics at Baroda University in India and Ohio University in 바카라사이트 US before studying biology as a graduate student at 바카라사이트 University of California, San Diego.

He was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University and a staff biophysicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory before becoming professor of biochemistry at 바카라사이트 University of Utah. He moved to 바카라사이트 Laboratory for Molecular Biology in 1999 specifically to pursue his study of 바카라사이트 ribosome.
