David R. Liu is an inventor on a winning streak. As a young chemist, he quickly mastered techniques for studying life's most complex molecules and then turned to altering the building blocks of life itself. He repurposed the genetic code of DNA to create large libraries of small molecules for drug screening and created a system for engineering new proteins that's at least 100 times as fast as prev Read More
