Cells–the basic unit of all life–arose approximately four billion years ago and have divided and continuously evolved. Nobel Laureate Günter Blobel will share his remarkable research and present the striking beauty of numerous cellular machines. Dr. Blobel was the 1999 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery that proteins have intrinsic signals that govern their transport and localization in the cell. A reception follows.
