John Craig Venter (born October 14, 1946) is an American biologist and entrepreneur. He is known for being one of the first to sequence the human genome and for creating the first cell with a synthetic genome. Venter founded Celera Genomics, TIGR (The Institute for Genomic Research) and the JCVI (J. Craig Venter Institute), and is now working at JCVI to create synthetic biological organisms. He was listed on Time magazine's 2007 and 2008 Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. In 2010, the British magazine New Statesman listed Craig Venter at 14th in the list of "The World's 50 Most Influential Figures 2010".
Venter was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. In his youth, he did not take his education seriously, preferring to spend his time on the water in boats or surfing.[citation needed] According to his biography, A Life Decoded, he was said to never be a terribly engaged student, having Cs and Ds on his eighth-grade report cards.
Although he was against the Vietnam War, Venter was drafted and enlisted in the United States Navy where he worked in the intensive-care ward of a field hospital. While in Vietnam, he attempted to commit suicide by swimming out to sea, but changed his mind more than a mile out. Being confronted with wounded, maimed, and dying soldiers on a daily basis instilled in him a desire to study medicine — although he later switched to biomedical research.
Shinya Yamanaka (山中 伸弥, Yamanaka Shin'ya?, born September 4, 1962 in Higashiōsaka) is a Japanese physician and adult stem cell researcher. He serves as the director of Center for iPS Cell Research and Application and a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences at Kyoto University, as a senior investigator at the UCSF-affiliated J. David Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California, and as a professor of anatomy at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He was recently awarded the Wolf Prize in Medicine. Yamanaka has been listed as one of the 15 Asian Scientists To Watch by Asian Scientist Magazine on 15 May 2011.
He received his M.D. at Kobe University in 1987 and his Ph.D. at Osaka City University Graduate School in 1993. After this he went through a residency in orthopedic surgery at National Osaka Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, San Francisco.
From 1987-1989, Yamanaka was a Resident in orthopedic surgery at the National Osaka Hospital. From 1993-1995, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, which is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco. From 1995-1996, he was a staff research investigator at the UCSF-affililated Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease. From 1996-1999, he was an assistant professor at Osaka City University Medical School. From 1999-2003, he was an associate professor at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology. From 2003-2005, he was a professor at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology. From 2004–2010, Shinya Yamanaka was a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences. Currently Yamanaka is the director and a professor at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application in Kyoto university, Japan.
