Oct 1, 2007 · MAX DELBRÜCK (1906–1981) played a crucial role in getting molecular biology as we know it on its successful way. Thus, in the 1940s, after emigrating to the United States, he started a new science.
Nobel Prize winner Max Delbrück was a founder of the field of molecular biology. In the late 1930s he helped establish the molecular biology and research program which stimulated physical scientists' interest on gene research. Together with Alfred Hershey and Salvador Luna, he formed the Phage Group of scientists in 1945.
