Radoje Drmanac received a Ph.D. in molecular biology from Belgrade University in Serbia in 1988. As a Ph.D. student, he invented a powerful DNA sequencing platform to identify the thousands of DNA variants that impact human health.
In 1990, the international Human Genome Project was launched to discover the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes and make them accessible for further biological study. The project brought Drmanac to Argonne National Labs in Illinois, where he lent his expertise for…
