That\u2019s the right way to go.\u201d In 1967, Blobel received his doctorate in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Ostwald, Gisela, \u201eAmerikanische Hochschulen: Kaderschmiede fuer die Elite\u201c, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, 16.10.2008.<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
