Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
J. Craig Venter, born in Salt Lake City in 1946 and raised largely in the San Francisco area, came to science by an indirect route. After high school he served as a U.S. Navy corpsman in Vietnam, and only afterward began the formal academic path that led him to the University of California, San Diego, where he earned degrees in biochemistry and in physiology and pharmacology. He then joined the faculty at SUNY Buffalo and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute. That combination of wartime medical exposure, late-starting academic focus, and laboratory training helped shape the restless, applied style that would define his career.
