He discovered reverse transcriptase in the 1970s at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, for which he shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Renato Dulbecco and David Baltimore.〔(Howard M. Temin - Autobiography )〕〔(Homage to Howard Temin )〕 ==Early life and education== Temin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Jewish parents, Annette (Lehman), an activist, and Henry Temin, an attorney.〔Harman, Oren S., and Michael R. Dietrich. Rebels, Mavericks, and Heretics in Biology. New Haven: Yale UP, 2009. Print.〕 As a high school student at Central High School in Pennsylvania, he participated in the Jackson Laboratory's Summer Student Program in Bar Harbor, Maine. The director of the program, C.C. Little, told his parents that Temin was “unquestionably the finest scientist of the fifty-seven students who have attended the program since the beginning…I can’t help but feel this boy is destined to become a really great man in the field of science.”〔 Temin said that his experience at Jackson’s Laboratory is what really got him interested in science.〔Temin, Howard M. "Oral History Project: Howard M. Temin." Interview. 1993. 1-22. Oral History Program, Archives, Steenbock Library, University of Wisconsin – Madison.〕 Temin’s parents raised their family to have values associated with social justice and independent thinking, which was evident throughout his life. For Temin’s bar mitzvah, the family donated money that would have been spent on the party, to a local camp for displaced persons. Temin was also the valedictorian of his class and he devoted his speech to relevant issues at the time including the recent hydrogen bomb activity and the news of sending a man to the moon.〔 He received his bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in 1955 majoring and minoring in biology in the honors program. He received his doctorate degree in animal virology from the California Institute of Technology in 1959.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Martin Temin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
