Günter Blobel--still passionate after all these years.
What one word best describes Günter Blobel?


CONCLUSIONS
passion. Almost all of the nearly 200 investigators who have worked in the Blobel laboratory in the past quarter century would describe him as highly enthusiastic, intense and, above all, passionate. Whether it was in the early days of the signal hypothesis, the initial characterization of nuclear pores and lamina or his more recent foray into rebuilding the historic German City of Dresden, Günter attacks every project with unbridled passion, intensity, boundless energy and determination.
