Nancy Kleckner became smitten with genetic material as a high school student during the early 1960's, in the dawning of molecular genetic research. "DNA is intrinsically interesting," says Kleckner, now a professor in Harvard's department of molecular and cellular biology (MCB). In addition to being the basis of all life on earth, she says DNA "has a pleasing aesthetic quality to it in terms of how the molecule is designed."
