Thomas B. Kornberg
Introduction
Thomas Bill Kornberg is an American biochemist who was the first person to purify and characterise DNA polymerase II and DNA polymerase III.[1][2] He is currently a Professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco working on Drosophila melanogaster development.
His father is Arthur Kornberg (born 1918), winner of the 1959 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and his older brother is Roger D. Kornberg (born 1947), winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
