Günter Blobel is the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Professor at The Rockefeller University, and Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for the discovery that proteins have intrinsic "ZIP code" signals that govern their transport and localization in the cell.”
In the January 31, 2003 issue of Science (page 657), Dr. Blobel is quoted as saying:
“I don’t think there is any concept that you can’t make understandable to the educated lay public. I always tell my students and postdocs if you can’t explain to your grandmother what you are doing, probably you don’t understand it yourself properly.”
