He spent almost three decades in the USA before moving to England in 1999 to work in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge where he is now a Group Leader. Ramakrishnan is the author of two books. The first, Gene Machine (2018), is is a popular memoir about the quest for the structure of the ribosome. It describes what it was like to be an outsider who found himself in the middle of a race for an important problem, and talks about how science is done, with its mixture of insights and persistence as well as blunders and dead ends. It also takes a very frank look at how scientists behave, with their mixture of competition and collaboration, their egos, insecurities and jealousies, but also their kindness and generosity. His most recent book, Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality (2024) is about the biology of aging and death. It tries to look beyond the incessant hype to take an unvarnished look at the underlying biology of aging, current efforts to combat it and at the culture and social consequences of efforts to extend lifespan. Both books have been translated into many languages.\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com\/images?q\\u003dtbn:ANd9GcQ6--Kw3zF8xxNujyeWg-23_W24KPjYvhCnplst9mns9CpJ4cZbEGTVLJHYy-PpXdfhSACpjN5J08QqR6M\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;Amazon.in\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;https:\/\/encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com\/faviconV2?url\\u003dhttps:\/\/www.amazon.in\\u0026client\\u003dAIM\\u0026size\\u003d128\\u0026type\\u003dFAVICON\\u0026fallback_opts\\u003dTYPE,SIZE,URL\u0026quot;,[[1785840606334902,57691119,1412181648],null,null,null,null,[[0,16]]],null,\u0026quot;095b1fa9-51e6-49a0-875b-176dff2b65bc\u0026quot;]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e recounts the high-stakes global race to map the structure of the ribosome—the cellular machine that decodes DNA to create life.
