Douglas C. Prasher is an American molecular biologist. He is known for his work to clone and sequence the genes for the photoprotein aequorin and green fluorescent protein and for his proposal to use GFP as a tracer molecule. He communicated his pioneering work to Martin Chalfie and Roger Y. Tsien, but by was himself unable to obtain further research funding, and left academia. Eventually, he had to abandon science. Chalfie and Tsien were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work t. The scientist who first isolated GFP, a Nobel Prize winning discovery, could not receive NIH funding for his work and had to leave academia to become a shuttle bus driver for a Toyota dealership. He was also snubbed for the Nobel. In fact, at the time the announcement was made that the GFP researchers were awarded the prize, the erstwhile biochemist Prasher was working as a courtesy shuttle driver at a Huntsville, Alabama, Toyota dealership. But now, after 4 years marked with some of the same ups and downs that landed.

٠٧‏/٠٢‏/٢٠١٣ Nobel Prize was awarded to GFP scientists In fact, he was working as a courtesy shuttle bus driver for Bill Penney Toyota in. ٠٨‏/١٠‏/٢٠٠٨ “for the discovery and development of the green fluorescent protein, GFP”. Glowing proteins – a guiding star for biochemistry. The remarkable. However at that time Parsher had left the academia and was working as a bus driver. The then Nobel Laureates appreciated the Parsher's work greatly and paid.
