Dr Kary Mullis Gives Talk About PCR Testing And Proper Diagnostics Usage Regarding Viral Diseases

Kary Banks Mullis (December 28, 1944 – August 7, 2019) was an American biochemist. In recognition of his role in the invention of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique, he shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Michael Smith and was awarded the Japan Prize the same year. PCR became a central technique in biochemistry and molecular biology, described by The New York Times as "highly original and significant, virtually dividing biology into the two epochs of before PCR and after PCR."

Mullis attracted controversy for denying humans' role in climate change and for expressing doubts that HIV causes AIDS. He died, aged 74, from complications of pneumonia at his home in Newport Beach, California.
