- Who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1993 for inventing PCR?
- A. David Baltimore
- B. Kary Mullis
- C. Robert Weinberg
- D. John Nash
None of the above.
Technically, Dr. Kerry Mullis only won half of the prize.
The 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was shared between Dr. Michael Smith (for site-directed mutagenesis) & Dr. Kerry Mullis (for PCR).
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1993 was awarded "for contributions to the developments of methods within DNA-based chemistry" jointly with one half to Kary B. Mullis "for invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method" and with one half to Michael Smith "for his fundamental contributions to the establishment of oligonucleotide-based, site-directed mutagenesis and its development for protein studies".
