39. Gianni Cesareni - Postdoctoral training with Nobel laureates and transforming fundamental research into widely adopted technologies,

Gianni Cesareni (Professor Emeritus, University of Rome Tor Vergata and fromer Group Leader, EMBL Heidelberg, 1979-88) chats with Thomas Vaccari (Current Professor, University of Milan and former Predoctoral Fellow, EMBL Heidelberg, 1999-2004). Gianni reflects on his unconventional journey from physics to molecular biology, his formative postdoctoral years alongside Nobel laureates in Cambridge, and how interdisciplinary training shaped his scientific career. He also discusses how EMBL's collaborative environment transformed fundamental research into widely adopted technologies, highlighting phage display, plasmid engineering, and pioneering approaches to studying protein interactions.
