Beadle experts to give lecture
Two experts on the work of University of Nebraska alumnus George W. Beadle will give a lecture on his work next week.
Paul Berg and Maxine Singer, authors of George Beadle: An Uncommon Farmer: The Emergence of Genetics in the 20th Century, will speak at 1:30 p.m. May 7 at the auditorium of the Beadle Center. A book-signing will follow the presentation; copies of the book will be sold at the event.
Berg has been involved in cancer research and genetic research and received the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1980 for discovering new ways to analyze the structure and function of DNA and its role in the development of genetic engineering. Singer’s research contributions relate to areas of biochemistry and molecular biology, including the structure and evolution of defective viruses and enzymes that work on DNA and its complementary molecule, RNA.
Berg and Singer will also present the UNL commencement address on May 8.
Beadle was a Wahoo native who received the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1958.
