Har Gobind Khorana was an Indian-American biochemist and Nobel laureate. He was born on January 9, 1922, in Raipur, British India (now in Pakistan), and passed away on November 9, 2011, in Concord, Massachusetts, United States.
Khorana was known for his groundbreaking research on the genetic code and the synthesis of nucleic acids. In the 1960s, he played a pivotal role in deciphering the genetic code and determining how the order of nucleotide bases in DNA determines the order of amino acids in proteins. This work laid the foundation for our understanding of how genetic information is encoded and translated in living organisms.

Born from December 22 to January 19, Capricorn peoples are ambitious, responsible, disciplined, pessimistic, and rigid. Remember that zodiac signs should not be used to stereotype or judge people solely based on their Zodiac signs. People are complex and multi-dimensional, and astrology is just one tool among many that can be used to gain insight into oneself and others.
