Conquering the Scientific World, Dr. Roberto Crea

Although the scientists that brought a revolution into human life are no more, there remain a few who are following in their footsteps to find permanent solutions to persistent human life problems and add value, ease, and comfort to people’s lives.     1     fits the context perfectly is worth worshiping. And Dr. Roberto Crea is the one of them.

Born on July 1, 1948, in Italy, Roberto Crea was a genius kid.     2    (graduate) from the University of Pavia in Italy, he moved to the Netherlands for his specialization later on and finally enrolled at the University of Leiden, where he studied the synthesis of nucleorides (核苷酸), the basic units that are required to build a DNA.     3     he was immensely interested in and exceedingly curious about it, he was determined to specialize in the DNA/RNA synthesis by the phosphotriester method. Roberto’s strong chemistry background paved the way for a historical invention. And his marvelous research at the University spoke volumes.

With Genetech funding Dr. Crea’s on-going research on gene synthesis, Crea invented a new procedure that streamlined the chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides and synthetic genes. His profound knowledge, along with the collaboration of the excellent Genetech team, utilized this discovery to produce the human insulin genes. It was his invention that allowed Genentech     4    (label) as the first producer of human protein. This was made from therapeutic interest in bacteria for the benefit of hundreds of millions of people     5    (suffer) from diabetes all over the world.

His efforts did not cease     6     discovering the synthetic insulin(胰岛素); in fact, he was more than driven and strived to make more contributions to the field of biotechnology. In 1982, Roberto switched roles slightly to become a scientist entrepreneur and launched his company, Creative BioMolecules. This venture     7    (initial) functioned as a service company but later began producing therapeutic protein substances.

Another notable contribution to the medicine industry was the life-changing discovery of ziconotide, which     8    (take) place when Roberto served as the scientific director at Neurex. His team of experts in neuroscience discovered this drug under his teachings and guidance. According to leading scientists and researchers, this drug is more powerful and effective than morphine, a powerful drug used to reduce pain, and     9    (good) part of this is that it has zero side-effects.

Established as one of the greatest researchers and scientists America has ever known, Dr. Roberto Crea can be looked up to as an idol in Biotechnology and an inspiration for many individuals     10     dream of adding value to humanity with the help of science is deeply rooted.

【推荐3】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Bacteriophages (phages) and other mobile genetic elements (MGEs) exert an immense selective pressure on     1    (bacterium), which in response have developed a broad arsenal of defence mechanisms.     2     these, CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats–CRISPR-associated proteins) is a group of widespread RNA-guided adaptive immune systems that are classified into two broad classes, six types and numerous subtypes according to their genetic composition and interference mechanism1. The CRISPR–Cas immune response starts with the    3    (acquire) of short DNA fragments (protospacers) from invading MGEs. The protospacers are inserted as spacers between repeats in the CRISPR array to create a memory of the infection. Next, the CRISPR array is expressed    4     a long transcript that is processed into small, mature CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs), each    5    (carry) a spacer sequence flanked by part of the repeat. Finally, the interference complexes, composed     6     a crRNA and one (class 2) or more (class 1) Cas proteins, degrade the complementary nucleic-acid targets that are often found next to a short protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). The specificity and programmability of the CRISPR–Cas machinery     7    (lead) to the development of various biotechnological applications in genome editing, molecular diagnostics and more.

In the evolutionary arms race with CRISPR–Cas, phages and other MGEs have evolved diverse strategies to block or circumvent immunity. One widespread evasion mechanism uses protein-    8    (base) CRISPR–Cas inhibitors called anti-CRISPRs (Acrs). So far, more than 100 Acr protein families have been identified    9     inhibit different stages of the CRISPR–Cas immune response, mainly by interacting directly with Cas proteins. For example, Acrs prevent crRNA loading, effector-complex formation, and target DNA binding and cleavage. Notably, the discovery of these natural ‘off switches’ has presented new opportunities    10    (control) the activity of CRISPR–Cas technologies.
