  Robert W. Holley - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Dr Robert W. Holley (January 28, 1922 - February 11, 1993) was an American biochemist, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 for describing the structure of alanine transfer RNA, linking DNA and protein synthesis.
Holley was born in Urbana, Illinois, and graduated from Urbana High School in 1938.
Holley's research on RNA focussed first on isolating transfer RNA (tRNA), and later on determining the sequence and structure of alanine tRNA, the molecule that incorporates the amino acid alanine into proteins.

 Holley, Robert William
Holley obtained his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., in 1947.
By 1960 Holley and others had shown that small molecules of ribonucleic acids, called transfer RNAs, were involved in the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
Holley and his collaborators developed techniques to separate the different transfer RNAs from the mixture in the cell.

Four years after that milestone, in a review in Science, Robert Sinsheimer summarized the case for linkage of DNA with heredity -- the evidence for which, even at that time, was circumstantial.
Another key step toward thinking about a complete human genetic sequence was the investigation of the structure and function of transfer RNA -- the three-nucleotide coding units that are linked to specific amino acids and that allow the instructions embedded in the DNA code to be translated into actual proteins.
Some of that work was played out in classic papers published in Science during the early 1960s by Marshall Nirenberg, Robert Holley, and their colleagues.

Two fields of study at Cornell closely relate to your interests in business and global economics: The Agricultural, Resource, Managerial Economics program (ARME) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (the Ag School), and the Economics major in Arts and Sciences, possibly combined with a concentration in International Relations.
You can contact the Admissions offices at the Ag School (177 Roberts; 255-2036) and Arts and Sciences (172 Goldwin Smith; 255-4833) for details and for dates of upcoming informational meetings about entering these programs.
Since it's sometimes not possible to transfer directly when you're a first-year student, you should also talk to the staff at the Internal Transfer Division (220 Day Hall; 255-4386), who specialize in helping students in circumstances like yours figure out how to make a change.
