Ms. Hodl wrote that after her 60th birthday she would begin a new chapter and now wants to write books. In 1990/91, she worked as a young biotechnologist in a laboratory in Heidelberg on the fermentation and purification of recombinant hirudin, which was produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 36 years later, she is researching the history of those technologies in a scientific library in Heidelberg, which she once worked on herself. She wants to write about molecular biology, the history of biotechnology, research, patents, companies, and the people behind them. In doing so, she brings scientific curiosity, a critical perspective, and her own laboratory experience to the table, she explained. #Biotechnologie #Wissenschaft #Lebensgeschichte (translated)
