Philippe Pouletty appears in Stanford OTL - 50th Anniversary Annual Report
Philippe Pouletty and his work on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is featured in the Stanford OTL 50th Anniversary Annual Report
A new tool for measuring DNA called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) would revolutionize molecular biology, medical diagnostics, and even ecology as it helped scientists better understand Earth’s genetic biodiversity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was introduced, providing a way to generate images of soft tissue without the use of radiation.
