Leroy Hood: Reflections on a Legendary Career
Leroy Hood is the perfect scientist to write the lead article in the first issue celebrating the 40th anniversary of GEN
. Lee’s career essentially parallels that of the biotech industry, and as you will see from his article, he is hugely responsible for many of the essential tools and technologies that have driven much life sciences research and clinical product development over the past 40 years. We sincerely thank him for his special contribution to our January issue. John Sterling, Editor in Chief
