Thomas P. Hopp was born in Seattle, Washington. He studied molecular biology at the University of Washington and earned his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry at Cornell University Medical College in Manhattan. He studied genetic engineering at Rockefeller University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He helped to found one of the most successful biotechnology companies, Seattle’s Immunex Corporation. There, he developed the first commercially successful nanotechnology device, a handle to be attached to protein molecules, and created genetically altered animals with a mix of human and animal traits. He has published 65 scientific articles and eight U.S. patents covering methods of DNA and protein experimentation. While researching these novels Dr. Hopp published a new scientific concept: the dinosaur ancestors of birds evolved wing feathers, first and foremost, for the purpose of brooding their young.
