Life's Work: J. Craig Venter
J. Craig Venter made waves in 1998 when he and his for-profit company, Celera, challenged the public Human Genome Project to a DNA sequencing race. (It ended in a tie two years later.) Fired from Celera in 2002, the biologist now runs a nonprofit institute and two biotech firms, overseeing the development of synthetic cells to be used in plastics, food supplements, and vaccines.
