How McClure Became Interested in Biology
Topics:
biology
biochemistry
McClure always wanted to help the world through science, but plant genetics wasn't part of his original grand plan. After college and a environmental biochemistry major, he took a position with a diet geneticist seeking to modify the nutritional value of maize. This job exposed McClure to genetic analysis and helped him realize that he could have an impact on the world through agriculture.
