Marc Kirschner likes to expose biology's essential processes, such as how a simple microtubule can form such a variety of structures. Lucky for biology.
Marc Kirschner will probably never win a Nobel Prize. But it's not from a lack of accomplishments. "His lab is probably one of the most exciting places to work," says Brace Alberts of the University of California, San Francisco, editor-in-chief of Science, and a longtime friend and colleague. "There are so many different things happening. It's incredibly productive and there's a real sense that people are discovering things that are really interesting and important."
So what's the catch? "He works on too many different things," laughs ...
