Synopsis "El gen (in Spanish)"

La historia de cómo hemos descifrado el código fuente que nos hace humanos abarca todo el planeta y varios siglos -y probablemente defina el futuro que nos espera. Entrelazando ciencia, historia y vivencias personales, Mukherjee hace un recorrido por el nacimiento, el crecimiento, la influencia y el futuro de una de las ideas más poderosas y peligrosas de la historia de la ciencia: el gen, la unidad fundamental de la herencia, y la unidad básica de toda la información biológica. Desde Aristóteles y Pitágoras, pasando por los descubrimientos relegados de Mendel, la revolución de Darwin, Watson y Franklin, hasta los avances más innovadores llevados a cabo en nuestro siglo, este libro nos recuerda cómo la genética nos afecta a todos cada día. Reseñas: «Esta quizá sea la mejor historia de suspense jamás contada, una búsqueda de milenios dirigida por mil exploradores, de Aristóteles a Mendel a Francis Collins, tras el enigma en el centro de cada célula. Como El emperador de todos los males, El gen es prodigiosa, torrencial y finalmente transcendente. Si te interesa en qué consiste ser humano hoy y en todos los mañanas que vengan, tienes que leer este libro.» Anthony Doerr, autor de La luz que no puedes ver «El gen es una magnífica síntesis de la ciencia de la vida, y nos obliga a enfrentarnos con el núcleo de esa ciencia, así como con los retos éticos y filosóficos a nuestra idea de en qué consiste ser humano.» Paul Berg, Premio Nobel de Química «Magnífico... La historia del gen se ha contado por trozos de distintas maneras, pero nunca con la perspectiva y la grandeza que Mukherjee aporta a su historia.» James Gleick, New York Times Book Review

Siddhartha Mukherjee (New Delhi, India, July 21, 1970) is an Indian-American physician, researcher, and writer, considered one of the greatest scientific communicators and innovative voices in contemporary medicine. He studied Biology at Stanford, was a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford, where he earned a D.Phil. in immunology, and graduated in Medicine at Harvard. He is currently an associate professor of Medicine at Columbia University and an oncologist in New York, leading pioneering research on cancer and cell therapies. In addition to his clinical and scientific work, he writes for media such as The New Yorker and The New York Times.

His work The Emperor of All Maladies (2010), a biography of cancer, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2011 and was adapted into a documentary by Ken Burns. He is also the author of The Gene: An Intimate History (2016), which was an international success and finalist for prestigious awards, The Laws of Medicine (2015) and The Song of the Cell (2022), all recognized as benchmarks in the dissemination of modern science. Mukherjee has received numerous accolades, including the Padma Shri (2014, awarded by the government of India), the Lewis Thomas Prize for Writing About Science (2019) and the Dr. Ida S. Scudder Socratic Leadership Award (2024). His books, praised for their rigor, humanity, and narrative clarity, have brought medicine and biology closer to millions of readers around the world, consolidating him as an essential figure to understand health and the future of science.
