EPCC RISE Students and Faculty visited research laboratories at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD in June 2007 and interviewed Dr. Marshall Nirenberg. Dr. Nirenberg was awarded the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work in deciphering the genetic code. During the interview he explains how he conducted the experiments that led to the important discovery of how m-RNA is translated into protein. You can find more information at:
