Ajman University’s “Reaching for the Stars" Series

On October 31, the Counseling Unit organized “Reaching for the Stars” series which highlighted the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded to James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The session was moderated by Dr. Gabriel Andrade, Assistant Professor, College of Medicine at Ajman University.

 Watson and Crick's revolutionary revelation of the molecular structure of DNA unraveled a fundamental biological mystery, shedding light on the mechanism of information transfer in living organisms. The specific base pairing facilitates flawless heredity replication, while the ordered bases form the blueprint for amino acid sequences in a protein.
