My Chemical Information System

"What is life? Life is a chemical information system." This quote from scientist and biotech entrepreneur Gyula Dekany highlights his unique perspective that led to groundbreaking discoveries, including the synthesis of human milk oligosaccharides, now used in nutritional products worldwide. Over the past 20 years, Dekany has lived 16,000 km away from his family to pursue scientific breakthroughs. Currently based in Australia with his family, he is working on synthesizing compounds to cure Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Is life just a chemical information system?
