When Obokata arrived in Vacanti’s lab, he quickly recognized her as open-minded and astute. Thinking that she could add credibility and detail to his work on the sporelike cells, he asked her to recapitulate the study, employing the latest techniques in stem-cell research. For the time being, he withheld his hypothesis that harsh conditions could create stem cells. The last thing he wanted was for a graduate student from abroad to return home and develop the idea in someone else’s lab. His main concern, he told me, was: “Can we trust Haruko?”
Obokata was a lab director’s dream. She applied herself to the study of stem cells with fanatical devotion, and still found time to attend Harvard seminars on a huge range of topics. In the lab, she mastered every machine and method. Lab work is like cooking, and protocols like recipes: the quality of the result depends a great deal on the practitioner. Obokata was possessed of what scientists call “golden hands”—she could get everything to work. “I’ve never met anyone smarter,” Jason Ross, who worked as a research assistant under Obokata and credits her with teaching him everything he knows about biology, told me. “Everyone saw how gifted she was. There are not many Harukos out there.”
