Mullis was born in Lenoir, North Carolina, near the Blue Ridge Mountains, on December 28, 1944.

Following his graduation, Mullis became a postdoctoral fellow in pediatric cardiology at the University of Kansas Medical School, going on to complete two years of postdoctoral work in pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco.

Mullis has consulted on nucleic acid chemistry for multiple corporations.

Cetus took Mullis off his usual projects to concentrate on PCR full-time.

Saiki generated the needed data and authored the first paper to include utilization of the technique, while Mullis was still working on a paper that would describe PCR itself.

Mullis has also invented a UV-sensitive plastic that changes color in response to light, and most recently has been working on an approach for mobilizing the immune system to neutralize invading pathogens and toxins, leading to the formation of his current venture, Altermune LLC.

The anthropologist Paul Rabinow wrote a book on the history of the PCR method in 1996 ( entitled Making PCR ) in which he discussed whether or not Mullis " invented " PCR or " merely " came up with the concept of it.

In 1993, Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Michael Smith for his work on PCR.

* The PCR ( polymerase chain reaction ) technique is developed by Kary Mullis, improving the researches on microbiology and genetics, also widely used in AIDS research.

In the early 1980s, Kary Mullis was working at Cetus Corporation on the application of synthetic DNAs to biotechnology.

The improvements made by Mullis allowed PCR to become a central technique in biochemistry and molecular biology, described by The New York Times as " highly original and significant, virtually dividing biology into the two epochs of before P. C. R.

A concept similar to that of PCR had been described before Mullis ' work.

The suggestion that Mullis was solely responsible for the idea of using Taq polymerase in the PCR process has been contested by his co-workers at the time, who were embittered by his abrupt departure from Cetus.

However, other scientists have written that " the full potential PCR was not realized " until Mullis ' work in 1983, and that Mullis ' colleagues failed to see the potential of the technique when he presented it to them.

Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications.

* 1983 — Kary Mullis invented " PCR " ( polymerase chain reaction ), an automated method for rapidly copying sequences of DNA.

* 1985-Polymerase Chain Reaction ( PCR )-Kaery Mullis

Later, Kary Mullis and other investigators at Cetus Corporation discovered this enzyme could be used in the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) process for amplifying short segments of DNA, eliminating the need to add enzyme after every cycle of thermal denaturation of the DNA.

In 1993, Dr. Mullis was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work with PCR.

Kary Mullis conceived PCR in 1985 as an in vitro simplified reproduction of the in vivo process of DNA replication.

In 1983 Kary Mullis devised a method for the in-vitro amplification of DNA, known as the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ), which revolutionized the chemical processes used in the laboratory to manipulate it.

The 1993 prize credited Kary Mullis with the development of the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) method, a central technique in molecular biology which allowed for the amplification of specified DNA sequences.

Mullis ' co-workers at that time denied that he was solely responsible for the idea of using Taq polymerase in the PCR process.

Rabinow raised the issue of whether or not Mullis " invented " PCR or " merely " came up with the concept of it.

However, Khudyakov and Howard Fields claimed " the full potential PCR was not realized " until Mullis ' work in 1983.

Kary Banks Mullis ( born December 28, 1944 ) is a Nobel Prize winning American biochemist, author, and lecturer.

Mullis worked as a DNA chemist at Cetus for seven years ; it was there, in 1983, that Mullis invented his prize-winning improvements to the polymerase chain reaction.

In 1983, Mullis was working for Cetus Corp. as a chemist.

First, in 1983 Kary Mullis invented the

Since winning the Nobel Prize, Mullis has been criticized in The New York Times for promoting ideas in areas in which he has no expertise.

As a child, Mullis recalls, he was interested in observing organisms in the countryside.

Mullis earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta in 1966, during which time he got married and started a business.

After receiving his PhD, Mullis left science to write fiction, but quit and became a biochemist at a medical school in Kansas City.

Mullis returned to science at the encouragement of friend Thomas White, who later got Mullis a job with the biotechnology company Cetus Corporation of Emeryville, California.

After leaving Cetus in 1986, Mullis served as director of molecular biology for Xytronyx, Inc. in San Diego for two years.

In 1992, Mullis founded a business with the intent to sell pieces of jewelry containing the amplified DNA of deceased famous people like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe.

Mullis is also a member of the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Advisory Board.

That spring, according to Mullis, he was driving his vehicle late one night with his girlfriend, who was also a chemist at Cetus, when he had the idea to use a pair of primers to bracket the desired DNA sequence and to copy it using DNA polymerase, a technique which would allow a small strand of DNA to be copied almost an infinite number of times.

Miraculously, Karipo and her women had succeeded in driving a hundred invaders from the isle of Pamasu back to their war canoes, after considerable loss of life on both sides.

Attorney Shearn had worked on this for two years and had succeeded in getting a report supporting his stand from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
