Voice of America
Today on "American Profiles": a researcher who has contributed to the battle against diseases including malaria and SARS, and who is a passionate advocate for openness in science. VOA's Art Chimes introduces us to Joseph DeRisi. For a guy who spends most of his time in a laboratory at UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) Joe DeRisi has a pretty high profile. A few years ago, Esquire magazine described him as a "rock star among molecular biologists," featuring him as one of their "best and brightest" honorees.
