Paul Berg and Stanley Cohen
Description:
Paul Berg, 1976 (L) and Stanley Cohen (R).
Herbert Boyer: Former varsity lineman turned biotech bigwig. Expert at cutting DNA before most people knew it could be done.
Stanley Cohen: A born tinkerer; figured out the trick of using loops of DNA called plasmids to transform bacterial DNA.
