Danny Reinberg is a biochemist--a hard-core, purebred, columns-in-the-cold-room kind of biochemist. Born in Santiago, Chile, in 1954, Reinberg took his first biochemistry course as an undergraduate at the Catholic University in nearby Valparaiso. "I liked it so much that even though I got an A-minus, I went back and said, 'You know, I don't think I have a complete understanding and grasp of biochemistry. I'd like to take the course again.'" The professor, says Reinberg, "looked at me and said, 'You're crazy! Nobody wants to take it again.'" Although his grade actually went down the second time around, Reinberg says, "I loved it."
