The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962 was awarded jointly to Francis Harry Compton Crick, James Dewey Watson and Maurice Hugh Frederick Wilkins "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material"
Francis Crick (1916-2004) was one of Britain's great scientists. He is best known for his work with James Watson which led to the identification of the structure of DNA in 1953, drawing on the work of Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin and others.
Francis Harry Compton Crick. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1962. Born: 8 June 1916, Northampton, United Kingdom. Died: 28 July 2004, San Diego, CA, USA. Affiliation at the time of the award: MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
As a theorist in a science based on experiment, Francis Crick, more than any other single scientist, defined the field of molecular biology during its "classical period" from the discovery of the double helical structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in 1953 to the elucidation of the complete genetic code in 1966.
