“Since my high school years, I have been interested in history, especia...” — George Emil Palade Quote

“Since my high school years, I have been interested in history, especially in Roman history, a topic on which I have read rather extensively. The Latin that goes with this kind of interest proved useful when I had to generate a few terms and names for cell biology.”

“We finally understand in general terms how a cell is organized, how its specialized organs function in a well integrated manner to insure its survival and replication.”

“For a scientist, it is a unique experience to live through a period in which his field of endeavour comes to bloom - to be witness to those rare moments when the dawn of understanding finally descends upon what appeared to be confusion only a while ago - to listen to the sound of darkness crumbling.”

“We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology.”

“My father was a physicist, while I am a biogeochemist. I live to study plants, and he has never had more than a generic interest in biology.”

“IndieBio's capital, facilities, and deep mentoring by a network of biotech-specific experts have the potential to spawn the Google, Facebook, and Instagrams of biology.”
