 Har Gobind Khorana
Khorana was born into a poor family and attended Punjab University at Lahore and the University of Liverpool, England, on government scholarships.
In the 1960s Khorana confirmed Nirenberg's findings that the way the four different types of nucleotides are arranged on the spiral "staircase" of the DNA molecule determines the chemical composition and function of a new cell.
Khorana made another contribution to genetics in 1970, when he and his research team were able to synthesize the first artificial copy of a yeast gene.

Khorana could not get a job as a university professor in England because he was an Indian.
In 1960, Khorana went to the United States, where he continued the research he had been doing in Canada on the chemical called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the stuff of which genes are made.
Khorana learned how to "read"" the sequence of chemicals that make up genes, and in which genetic messages are ""written.""Then, by putting simple chemicals together in a test tube, he and his students succeeded in making - for the first time - a human gene."

Har Gobind Khorana is a noted Indian-born American biochemist who along with Marshall W. Nirenberg and Robert W. Holley, both American, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 for their research which showed that the synthesis of proteins was actually controlled by the genetic components of the cell's nucleus.
During the early part of the 1960's, Khorana was able to synthesize the already known structure of nucleic acid molecules.
From his research, Khorana was able to determine what parts of the nucleic acid were responsible for codes for protein synthesis.
