Andrew Fire discusses The Genetic Landscape: What is RNA Interference? (FORA VIDEO)



Andrew Fire discusses The Genetic Landscape: What is RNA Interference? Fire knows more than most people about the mysteries of genetics. Come learn about genetics and RNA interference from the winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in medicine, for advances in gene silencing - a process that allows cells to selectively turn off specific genes. Research in this area jump-started a new biological field by opening the door to previously inaccessible lodes of genetic information - The Commonwealth Club

Dr. Andrew Fire - Andrew Zachary Fire is an American professor of genetics at Stanford University. Fire is one of the laureates of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, along with Craig C. Mello, for the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi). This research was conducted at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and published in 1998. Fire is currently professor of pathology and of genetics at the Stanford University School of Medicine, which he joined in 2003.
