Born on July 1st,1948，in the small Italian city of Palmi，Roberto Crea was a genius kid.He moved to the Netherlands and majored in Biological Chemistry in the University of Leiden.It was this university that directed his interest in the synthesis (合成) of nucleotides，the basic units that are required to build a DNA.At that time，not many researchers studied the combination of genes (基因)，but Roberto’s strong chemistry background made a historical invention possible.
In 1977，he joined the Genentech，Inc.and the gene synthesis team at City of Hope Medical School.The company funded Dr.Crea’s on-going research on gene synthesis.After working day and night，the brilliant individual finally invented a new procedure that improved the chemical synthesis of genes.Thanks to his rich knowledge and the joint efforts of the excellent Genentech team，he made use of this discovery to produce the human insulin (胰岛素) genes，A and B．It was his invention that allowed Genentech to be labeled as the first producer of human protein.This benefited hundreds of millions of people suffering from diabetes(糖尿病) all over the world.
